5.0 out of 5 stars Truly fascinating book, December 27, 2000

This review is from: Studies in Chinese Philosophy and Philosophical Literature (S U N Y Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture) (Hardcover)

This book is a fascinating study of a variety of questions within Chinese philosophy. A.C. Graham's interest in understanding the point of view and way of thought of Chinese philosopher's makes his work particularly interesting to read. This book is more academic and diverse than "Disputers of the Tao" (another work of his which is still in print), but anyone who enjoyed that book will certainly enjoy this one. Chapters in this book address a number of fundamental concepts in Chinese thought such as "xing" (human nature) and also look at linguistic issues in the study of Chinese philosophy. It's a terrible shame that this book is out of print.
