Description
Excerpt from Instructions for Practical Living and Other Neo-Confucian WritingsThe philosophy of Wang Yang-ming is a vigorous philosophy born of serious searching and bitter experience. It is no idle specula tion or abstract theory developed for the sake of intellectual curiosity. Rather, it is intended to provide a fundamental solution to basic moral and social problems. It calls for firm purpose and earnest effort, and for the actual practice and concrete demonstration of values. The show more intellectual and political situations of the time demanded just such a system.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
