The Philosophical Thought of Wang Chong

More about the book

Focusing on the philosophical contributions of Eastern Han Dynasty scholar Wang Chong, this study examines his methodological, metaphysical, and epistemological insights. It highlights how Wang's thought synthesizes earlier Han and Warring States philosophies, addressing key issues in early Chinese tradition through his theories of truth, knowledge, and determinism. While often viewed as a critic and skeptic, the author argues that Wang's work represents a broader positive endeavor to explore and discern truth, offering valuable perspectives for contemporary philosophy.
