Available for the first time in paperback, it remains the most complete work on the subject in any language. <p/> Volume I covers the period of the philosophers, from the beginnings to around 100 B.C., a philosophical period as remarkable as that of ancient Greece. Volume II discusses a period lesser known in the West--the period of classical learning, from the second century B.C. to the twentieth century.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Since its original publication in Chinese in the 1930s, this work has been accepted by Chinese scholars as the most important contribution to the study of their country's philosophy.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dr. Fung Yu-lan</b> is generally recognized as China's leading historian of Chinese philosophy.
