Chinese Buddhist philosophy reflects the ways in which Chinese Buddhist scholars understand the universe, human life, and the practices of spiritual cultivation. This book represents a systematic and comprehensive study of Chinese Buddhist philosophical thought. The author, Fang Litian, draws primarily from the Buddhist writings of Chinese thinkers, seeking to identify the key philosophical issues within Chinese Buddhism and to outline the contours of its philosophical system. Through five thematic sections-General Introduction, Philosophy of Human Life, Philosophy of Mind-Nature, Philosophy of the Universe, and Philosophy of Practice-the book traces the origins, debates, evolution, and historical development of key issues in Chinese Buddhist philosophy. It also makes comparisons with Indian Buddhist philosophy as well as with indigenous Chinese Confucian and Daoist philosophical traditions, revealing the dynamic interactions among these different schools of thought. On this basis, the author summarizes the fundamental characteristics and developmental patterns of Chinese Buddhist philosophical thought. 中国佛教哲学反映了中国佛教学者对宇宙人生和修持实践的看法与主张。本书是对中国佛教哲学思想的系统、整体研究的成果。作者方立天从中国人的佛教著作出发,力图从中梳理出中国佛教的重要哲学问题,勾画出中国佛教哲学体系。本书通过总论、人生论、心性论、宇宙论和实践论五编的专题论述,阐明中国佛教哲学问题的滥觞、论辩、演变与发展的历史轨迹,并与印度佛教哲学以及中国固有的儒、道哲学思想加以比较,以显示其间不同观点之间的互动进程,进而总结中国佛教哲学思维的基本特点和发展规律。 Fang Litian (1933-2014), a native of Yongkang, Zhejiang Province, was a first-level professor at Renmin University of China.
