Editorial Reviews: Cheng Man-ch'ing wrote this series of essays to make various points of classical Chinese philosophy understandable to beginning readers. Hennessy does a wonderful job in translating this work, as well as providing the classical references for each essay, giving a historical context for a western reader without the necessary background. In his continuing effort to show the artistic and scholarly vision of Professor Cheng, Mark Hennessy has brought out not only the subtle depth of Cheng’s interpretation of these classics, but his humor, sly wit, and awareness of cultural change.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A tai chi master's thoughts on the world Comment: Cheng Man-ch'ing wrote this series of essays to make various points of classical Chinese philosophy understandable to beginning readers. Hennessy does a wonderful job in translating this work so it is smooth and easy to read. He also tracks down the classical references for each essay, providing a context for a western reader without the necessary background. I found this work fascinating, as a discussion of the philosophy of Cheng. It is well worth a look for anyone interested in an interpretation of Chinese philosophy, or of Cheng Man-ch'ing himself.
