[edit] History
When the Communist Party took power, previous schools of thought were NOT were denounced as backward immediately. It is mainly during the period of Cultural Revolution - a relatively short period - that they have been denounced so.
- Well, I'm not quite sure. Many Chinese intellectuals (like Lun Xun) have denounced ancient Chinese thought as backward even before CP took power and argued that Daoist or Confucianist ideology was the cause of China's lack of progress during XIXth century. However, I agree that this topic should be rephrased in the article. gbog 05:20, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Comments
I'm transferring here some comments left inside the article source at the end of "Concepts within Chinese philosophy" section. _R_ 21:54, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
this paragraph only reflected the grand philosophy of merging Confucianism and Daoism and some aspects of Mohism since the Han Dynasty. Legalism, for example, doesn't have such a view as seen in Shang Jun Shu (商君書)
There's a lot more to it, but unfortunately I'm not an expert in this subject... Some gaps to be filled: more about the common concepts, differences between Western and Chinese philosophy, something about modern Chinese philosophy... you name it
Added a very simplistic explanation of the impact of Buddhist philosophy, which was sizeable though perhaps not as significant as established schools -- prat
I have modified few things but this article still needs improvement.gbog
[edit] Main Schools of Thought
Feel free to rewrite the summaries; I was lazy and copied and pasted them from the main articles. 24630 23:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Some questions
Since Confucius was commonly accepted to have been born in 551 B.C., isn't it a bit strange to say his Analects were published in 600 B.C.? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.131.183.229 (talk) 04:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC).
the key word is "around" because it is also including the Tao te Ching24630 04:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comparison between Chinese and Western philosophy
The whole section are contradictory when mentioned the universal value of Chinese philosophy. For example, Confucianism are against legalism. Chan/Zen never belief in collective thinking. --Sltan 06:55, 26 April 2007 (UTC) - agreed. should consider editing that section for truth
