Аннотация:Since its original publication in Chinese in 1930s, this work has been accepted by Chinese scholars as most important contribution to study of their country's philosophy. In 1952 book was published by Princeton University Press in an English translation by distinguished scholar of Chinese history, Derk Bodde, the dedicated translator of Fung Yu-lan's huge history of Chinese philosophy (New York Times Book Review). Available for first time in paperback, it remains most complete work on subject in any language. Volume I covers period of philosophers, from beginnings to around 100 B.C., a philosophical period as remarkable as that of ancient Greece. Volume II discusses a period lesser known in West--the period of classical learning, from second century B.C. to twentieth century.
