A very comprehensive look at Chinese philosophy, marred by distracting in-text comments which would have been much better as footnotes. Possibly the most intriguing chapter is the last one, which looks at Chinese philosophy under Commmunism.

First received as a text book for a class on Eastern Philosophies at Oklahoma State in 1990, this volume has been an invaluable reference over the years. Admirably encapsulates some fairly impenetrable subject matter.

Translated and compiled by Wing-tsit Chan, a Harvard PhD. Extracts from Confucius, Mencius, Hsun Tzu,
With an Appendix on "translation" of certain words. For example CHI means subtle force, CH'I means a definite object, and CH'I means material force, including both matter and energy or ether.
Also, a Bibliography, Glossary of Chinese Characters, and a detailed Index.
Confucius (born 551 bc) rarely mentions "spiritual" life, but turns humanism into a driving force. Wishing to be prominent, he helped others to prominence.
