About the Author
Mou Zongsan (1909-1995) was a towering figure in modern Chinese philosophy, renowned for his profound synthesis of Kantian transcendental philosophy with the moral metaphysics of Confucianism. A key member of the New Confucian movement, Mou sought to revitalize traditional Chinese thought in response to Western influences, emphasizing the innate moral knowledge (liangzhi) as the foundation of human subjectivity and ethical action. His extensive writings explore the intersections of metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology, arguing for a dynamic unity between intellect and morality that transcends mere rationalism. Through rigorous scholarship, Mou bridged Eastern and Western traditions, influencing generations of thinkers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and beyond, while advocating for the spiritual renewal of Chinese culture in the modern era.
