Review # 1 was written on 2012-06-21 00:00:00 Donald Bouldin Of all the subjects to which Leibniz applied himself none garnered more of his attention than China. China is the subject he spends the majority of his considerable intellect upon. I didn't know this before reading this book. For that reason alone it is worthwhile. It should be noted though that it incorporates serious flaws of anachronism and provenance. It should not be used for scholarly reference to China's history or the subjects of the humanities.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-19 00:00:00 Kathleen Sun This book is my East Asian Philosophy 101 course. A broad yet definitive guide to Chinese culture. I loved her grandfather's comment about how Chinese wear Confucian thinking caps, Taoist robes, and Buddhist sandals (skeptical of religions.) Her grandfather knows me better than I know myself lol And I instinctively follow all these Chinese ideologies without ever having studied any of those immense texts like I Ching, Tao Te Ching, or the Analects of Confucius although I remember bugging my mom about it when I was young. She didn't care for these things so she wasn't much help. I love the idea that Buddhism is not a religion in the Western sense of the word, but rather a way to an awakened state. And I'm fascinated by the I Ching, despite its occult/black magic background. I'm buying the Willhelm translation. I also absolutely love and wish I had as grounded and strong minded an aunt as hers. She rescued Adeline over and over and set her on the right path to happiness. I will be referencing that letter about having differences with your parents and letting yourself grow as an individual. this has been my all-time favorite book. it's also very closely connected to who I am and where I come from.
