Chapters contextualize neo-Confucianism for contemporary analytic philosophy through a rigorous, cross-cultural approach to today's most fundamental philosophical questions and debates. Divided into three parts, the volume outlines the metaphysical foundations of neo-Confucian moral philosophy and examines the relationship between human nature, human mind, and morality. Grounded in textual evidence from Chinese primary sources, the book incorporates a wealth of additional research from both Chinese and English secondary literature, and examines the ideas of eight major neo-Confucian philosophers, from Zhou Dunyi and Cheng-Zhu to Zhang Zai and Wang Fuzhi.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e An accessible yet authoritative narrative by an esteemed scholar of Chinese philosophy, \u003ci\u003eNeo-Confucianism: Metaphysics, Mind, and Morality\u003c\/i\u003e presents an incisive and philosophically-engaging treatment of neo-Confucian thought and its relevance to the contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989679587557,"sku":"NP9781118619148","price":91.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118619148.jpg?v=1761785076","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/neo-confucianism-isbn-9781118619148","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
