The Philosophy Of Qi: The Record Of Great Doubts
Kaibara Ekken
Kaibara Ekken (1630-1714) was a prominent Japanese Neo-Confucian scholar whose philosophical treatise, "The Record of Great Doubts," is one of the central discourses in East Asia on the importance of "qi," or the vital force that courses through all life. Available for the first time in English, this book emphasizes the role of the monism of "qi "in achieving a life of engagement. Ekken believes that moral self-cultivation must take place within the dynamic forces of nature and amid the rigorous demands of society and that the vitalism of "qi" provides the philosophical grounding for this vibrant interaction.
