Selected Materials on the History of Chinese Philosophy (Volume 1)

Author: None
Publisher:
Publishing Date: None
Features: This adaptation has undergone significant changes in terms of selected texts and annotation styles. The main points are as follows:
1. The selected texts primarily focus on the works of influential philosophers or schools in history, emphasizing philosophical thought materials, while other aspects are omitted.
2. The selected texts not only highlight the main views of each philosopher or school but also aim to reflect the full scope of their systems.
3. The texts are selected as much as possible to maintain their completeness. Works that are short but important are included in full, while longer works are appropriately excerpted.
4. All selected texts have been annotated concisely. The annotations primarily explain terms and phrases, with occasional explanations for particularly difficult sentences. The modern translations of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasty sections have been entirely removed. For annotations that utilize previous research, references are omitted to save space.
5. Before each selected text, an "Introduction to Historical Materials" is provided, explaining the source of the text, relevant versions, and important annotations, to assist students in further reading the original works of the philosophers.
