如果說中國是一個偉大的故事,那麼中國哲學就是其中一個璀璨的篇章。《中國哲學的故事》(The Story of Chinese Philosophy)正是以外語講述這一篇章的探索與嘗試。 本書採用主題故事的敘述方式,聚焦中國哲學長河中的閃耀瞬間,以38個章節講述先賢哲人人生境遇與時代背景的關聯,重要哲學觀點的產生、碰撞與交融,主要哲學流派的演變與發展。全書以英文撰寫,同時引用中文典籍原文,旨在幫助讀者品味這些思想的豐富內涵,領略中國哲學的獨特魅力。 從「陰陽相生」的辯證思維到「道法自然」的終極法則,從「天人合一」的和諧境界到「天下大同」的社會理想,從「民惟邦本」的治國根基到「德惟善政」的施政理念,從「性善」「性惡」的人性爭辯到「兼愛非攻」的和平主張,從「白馬非馬」的邏輯辨析到「濠梁之辯」的認知探討,從「守中致和」的處世之道到「厚德載物」的君子品格,從「修身、齊家、治國、平天下」的人生追求到「這個世界會好的」的時代論斷……中國哲學承載著源遠流長的中華智慧,其價值歷久彌新,對當今世界有著深刻的啟示。
