冯契先生是当代中国为数不多的有着自己理论体系的哲学家之一,他没有留下任何遗言,却留下了数百万字的哲学著作,这些丰富的学术遗产,融合了中国传统哲学、西方哲学和马克思主义哲学,是当代中国哲学的瑰宝。
本书是冯契“哲学史两种”(《中国古代哲学的逻辑发展》《中国近代哲学的革命进程》)的简缩本《中国哲学通史简编》的英译本,是一部贯通上古至1949年为止的完整的“中国哲学通史”。全书围绕“天人、名实”之辩、“理气(道器)”之辩、“心物(知行)”之辩等重要命题展现中国哲学的演化脉络。冯契在书中提出了自己关于哲学史的定义:哲学史是“根源于人类社会实践主要围绕着思维和存在关系问题而展开的认识的辩证运动”。本书从广义认识论的角度突显了中国传统哲学的特点:在逻辑学上,中国传统哲学擅长辩证逻辑,而在自然观上,则发展了气一元论,这与西方人发展形式逻辑和原子论颇为不同;在伦理学上,中国传统哲学注重自觉原则,而在美学上则较早提出了言志说和意境理论,这和西方人高扬自愿原则和较早提出模仿说及典型性格理论也是旨趣不同的。本书也对中国近代哲学(1840—1949)做了开拓性的研究,指出中国近代哲学革命在“古今中西”之争null
