Overview

Fung Yu-lan's classic single-volume survey of Chinese thought, tracing the living threads from Confucius, Laozi, and Zhuangzi through Mohism, the School of Names, and Buddhism to Neo-Confucianism - showing how each school answers the same question from a different angle: how a person should live within family, state, and cosmos.
