đọc vất vả với em quá nên em cho 4* he he mới đầu tưởng là nguyên một chuyên luận hóa ra là một cuốn tổng hợp các bài nghiên cứu. Từ mĩ học truyền thống tới mĩ học hiện đại, để thấy là văn hóa văn học và tâm hồn Nhật Bản vẫn giữ được cái nguyên bản đáng giá khi văn hóa phương Tây tràn sang Nhật Bản một cách ồ ạt. Nghe đồn bác Onishi Yoshiniri chuyên dạy mĩ học ở ĐH Tokyo có bài viết về aware nhưng kiếm không ra, hóa ra là bác nằm đầy đủ trong cuốn này. Em muốn đọc lại lần 2 biết đâu em sẽ ngẫm ra nhiều chỗ em khó hiểu trong này.

I've been using this as a kind of supplement while teaching the Chinese texts this semester. I think there are a lot of good things about it - it's meticulous, and Liu will often schematize arguments in a way that's probably useful for a lot of readers. (And would make it a good teaching resource.) It also gives good discussion of the secondary literature, the contemporary interpretations of the texts. But there's something sort of anachronistic and vaguely uncharitable about a lot of Liu's analysis. There's a lot of laying out of, for example, Mengzi's argument for human nature being good and then saying, "this argument fails." But I suspect that is not a terribly fruitful way to approach these texts - I prefer Joel Kupperman's approach, on the whole. Liu seems to be trying to break them down, rather than find out what makes them appealing. Though of course I haven't read as closely as it deserves; and I am genuinely looking forward to the chapters on Chinese Buddhism.
