中国哲学（英）

　　“中华之美”丛书围绕中华优秀传统文化这一主题，择取其中15个专题分别加以介绍。这15个专题，包括以思想、智慧、艺术为主的“无形遗产”，以工艺、器物为主的“有形遗产”，以衣食住行乐为主的“民俗生活”，它们精心构架，有机结合，勾勒出中国文化的一个总体面貌，并反映出“中华文化的理念、智慧、气度、神韵”。 本书不是以历史的线索而是以专题的线索来叙述中国哲学。全书共分五个专题，分别是：世界的性质是怎样的；事物的关系是怎样的；社会的准则是怎样的；人生的取向是怎样的；认识的结构是怎样的。其中前两部分是关于自然或世界的看法，第三、四部分是关于社会和人生的看法，第五部分则是对认识与智慧本身的看法。本书的目的在于使读者对中国博大精深的哲学思想有一个基本的了解，也即对古代中国那些优秀、伟大的智者和智慧有一个基本的了解。 This book introduces Chinese philosophy along the 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.
