His ideas came to dominate Chinese intellectual life, including the educational and civil service systems, for centuries. Despite his influence, Zhu Xi is known as the \"great synthesizer\" and rarely appreciated as a thinker in his own right. This volume presents Zhu Xi as a major world philosopher, one who brings metaphysics and cosmology into attunement with ethical and social practice. Contributors from the English- and Chinese-speaking worlds explore Zhu Xi's unique thought and offer it to the Western philosophical imagination. Zhu Xi's vision is critical, intellectually rigorous, and religious, telling us how to live in the transforming world of \u003ci\u003eli\u003c\/i\u003e-the emergent, immanent, and coherent patternings of natural and human milieu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 143845838X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438458380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"David Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153656525055,"sku":"9781438458380","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e49e7c1a-caa4-4674-8e94-610ecbca4d29.jpg?v=1770784946","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/returning-to-zhu-xi-david-jones-9781438458380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
