Editorial Reviews
Review
The first in the English language, this work provides an excellent introduction to Chinese philosophy... Essential. Undergraduates, Asian studies or philosophy students, researchers, and academic and public libraries.
–Choice, July 2003
A milestone, a welcome tome to fill a lamentable information-lacuna on Chinese philosophy... A monumental achievement and a landmark contribution. -- Dao: A Journal of Contemporary Philosophy
A milestone, a welcome tome to fill a lamentable information-lacuna on Chinese philosophy... A monumental achievement and a landmark contribution.
–Dao: A Journal of Contemporary Philosophy, Spring 2003
A valuable reference book not only for those students and scholars in the field of Chinese philosophy but also for all philosophers who are interested in broadening their philosophical perspectives... A significant contribution.
–The Review of Metaphysics, December 2003
This reference work will realistically underpin undergraduate and graduate investigation into topics as wide apart as rights and moral action, scientism and logic...Will certainly guarantee wide sales, especially where Chinese philosophy and ethics are studies in English-language translation.
–Reference Reviews, November 2003
Those working in Chinese philosophy will welcome the publication of the Encyclopedia of Chinese Philosophy... generally useful and interesting.
–Philosophy East & West, January 2005
Product Description
In approximately 160 substantial essays, 60 expert contributors explain the history and recent trends of Chinese philosophy. They also explain all the major schools of thought and discuss their critics and their followers. There are also essays on concepts such as "sheng" (life, creativity) and "hsin" (heart, mind) and on the relation of philosophy to other aspects of culture such as history and literature.
