摘要

The rich metaphysical and ethical frameworks of Chinese philosophy, though examined in preceding chapters, demand fresh engagement through modern lenses. Their arcane terminology and culturally situated conceptual frameworks pose significant interpretive challenges—especially for readers unversed in China’s intellectual traditions. It is precisely to mediate this divide that the current chapter offers a critical reconstruction of traditional moral cultivation through the prism of modern philosophical priorities: the nature of selfhood, moral autonomy, individual rights, and social equality.
