A New Book Series Published by Springer
Dao Companions to Chinese
Philosophy
Series Editor: Huang

Purpose
While ?philosophy? is a Western term, it is not something
exclusively Western. In this increasingly global world, the importance of
non-Western philosophy becomes more and more obvious. Among all the non-Western
traditions, Chinese philosophy is certainly one of the richest. In a history of
more than 2500 years, many extremely important classics, philosophers, and
schools have been produced. As China is becoming an economical power today, it
is only natural that more and more people become interested in learning about
the cultural tradition, including the philosophical tradition, of China.
The Dao Companions to Chinese Philosophy
series aims to provide the most comprehensive and most updated introduction to
various aspects of Chinese philosophy as well as philosophy heavily influenced
by Chinese philosophy. Each volume in this series focuses on an individual
school, text, or person.
