摘要
This book illustrates the difference between the western philosophy,exemplified by logical analysis, and Chinese philosophy,wherein the meaning to be found in a philosophical thesis is subjective but not entirely arbitrary. The close connection between theory and experience in Chinese philosophy is emphasized. Religion in china plays a relatively unimportant role because philosophy serves the purpose of transcending the gap between the relative and the absolute in everyday life.
