Natural Philosophy of Chu Hsi (1130-1200) : Memoirs, American Philosophical Society (vol. 235) (Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society)

In a much-revised version of his 1980 doctoral dissertation in the history of science for Princeton University, Kim (history and philosophy of science, Seoul National U.) examines the knowledge about the natural world that informed Chu Hsi's renowned neo-Confucian synthesis. He sets out his basic concepts, reviews his understanding of the world, and examines the relationship between the two. He includes an extensive glossary with the English meaning and the Chinese characters. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
