The Path: What Chinese Philosophers Can Teach Us… de Michael Puett
Finally finished this one. Had a hard time concentrating due to #life, but a lot of good stuff in here. Took notes and highlighted stuff to research further. Some history mixed with a lot of philosophy and a little bit of self-help thrown in. Certainly a good read for a little introspection and evaluation of your own beliefs.
More quotations from the original texts would have been helpful. They're surprisingly readable, especially the writings of Zhuangzi. While this reads like a self-help book, the authors do make some effort to place Chinese philosophy in its proper historical context, and to demonstrate that there were many different schools of thought in Warring States China, as opposed to some sort of monolithic "Eastern mysticism." I only wish these philosophers could have met and debated with their ancient Greek contemporaries.… (mais)
Really good introduction to Chinese thought that many of us in the West might not be familiar with. I had read many of these philosophers before, but this book opened my mind to some of their ideas in ways I hadn't previously considered
