叢書從源遠流長的中國文化中,選取有代表性的10個領(lǐng)域和專題進行介紹,包括哲學(xué)思想、文學(xué)、藝術(shù)、漢字、節(jié)日、飲食、工藝、服飾、建筑、醫(yī)藥等10分冊。通過流暢、輕松的文字和精美的圖片,使海內(nèi)外廣大讀者在愉快的閱讀體驗中,領(lǐng)略中國文化的豐富多彩、博大精深。整個系列中的每種圖書既各自獨立,綜合起來又在精心搭就的框架下,勾勒出中國文化的總體面貌。
本書不是以歷史的線索而是以專題的線索來敘述中國哲學(xué)。全書共分五個專題,分別是:世界的性質(zhì)是怎樣的;事物的關(guān)系是怎樣的;社會的準則是怎樣的;人生的取向是怎樣的;認識的結(jié)構(gòu)是怎樣的。其中前兩部分是關(guān)于自然或世界的看法,第三、四部分是關(guān)于社會和人生的看法,第五部分則是對認識與智慧本身的看法。本書的目的在于使讀者對中國博大精深的哲學(xué)思想有一個基本的了解,也即對古代中國那些優(yōu)秀、偉大的智者和智慧有一個基本的了解。
The “Chinese Culture” book series includes ten books on philosophical thoughts, literature, art, Chinese characters, festivals, foods and drinks, crafts, clothes, architecture and medicine. Each book introduces the history of a field or theme and the same origin of Chinese culture reflected by it, pursues its existence and manifestation in Chinese people’s life today, tells those “unknown stories” through smooth and relaxing words and exquisite pictures, reveals Chinese people’s thinking habits, behavioral modes, traditional concepts and social life, and helps readers understand “what Chinese people are like and what their thinking modes and living customs are.”
This book introduces Chinese philosophy alongthe line of topics instead of the line of history. The book has five topics, including: what is the nature of the world; what are the relationships among things; what are social norms; what is the orientation of life; what is the cognitive structure. The first two parts are about views on nature or the world; the third and fourth parts are about views on society and life; the fifth part is about views on cognition and wisdom. This book is intended to give readers the most basic understanding of profound Chinese philosophical thoughts as well as the most excellent and greatest wise ancient Chinese people and wisdom.
中國哲學(xué)博大精深。儒家的仁愛之心呈現(xiàn)了厚德載物的博大胸懷,是中華民族優(yōu)秀的品質(zhì),其崇高的精神已經(jīng)融入我們整個民族的血液之中。道家的智慧無窮如天地,不竭如江河,為中華民族的生存發(fā)展提供了生生不息、周行不殆的深厚源泉和恒久動力。事實上,以儒道思想為核心的中國哲學(xué)也是整個人類重要、寶貴的精神遺產(chǎn),這里的品德與智慧堪與人類任何偉大的傳統(tǒng)相媲美。本書采用觀念、概念、范疇與思想、理論、學(xué)說相結(jié)合的敘述方式,力求比較完整地呈現(xiàn)中國哲學(xué)的問題與面貌。
Chinese philosophy is extensive and profound. The advocacy of benevolence by Confucianism, which reflects a broad-minded, virtue-based attitude toward the world, is the most valuable quality of the Chinese nation-- – a sublime spirit that is now in the blood of the whole nation. The Taoist wisdom, which is as infinite as heaven and earth and as inexhaustible as rivers, provides a deep and undying source and eternal motivation for the survival and development of the Chinese nation. In fact, Chinese philosophy based on Confucianism and Taoism is among the most important and most precious cultural legacy of the whole humankind. The virtue and wisdom contained therein can be compared to those in any other great tradition of humanity. In order to present a relatively complete overview of Chinese philosophy and its issues, this book has adopted for its narrative a combination of ideas, concepts and categories with thoughts, theories and doctrines.
