Publisher's Synopsis
One of the central representatives of the New Confucianism, Xu Fuguan was born in 1903 to a poor peasant family in Hubei Province, China. Xu's concept of "youhuan yishi " is typical of his unique understanding of ancient Chinese thinkers. 徐復觀先生是「現代新儒學」的大家之一,亦是二十世纪台、港最具社會影響力的政論家,他和牟宗三、唐君毅等新儒學大家對現代新儒學在20世紀下半葉的興起作出了巨大的貢獻。
