Contemporary Chinese Studies of the Philosophy of Liu Zongzhou

According to him, Liu tries to reinforce human nature and Heaven in order to seek for objectivity rather than the subjectivity of the mind (Dongfang 1998a: 1). Judging from the title we see that the characteristic of this book lies in an exposition of the moral humanism of Liu. [...]the moral significance of Lius philosophy becomes the central concern of this book, and Lius ideas and theories are examined in this context. [...]though not directly related to our theme of Lius philosophy, two works of particular importance about Liu should also be introduced. [...]with the cooperation of scholars from the mainland and Taiwan, a modern edition of Complete Works of LIU Zongzhou was published (Liu 1996).
