Xiong Shili (1885–1968) was a luminary in Modern New Confucianism and Buddhist philosophy, especially Yogacara. He shaped modern Chinese philosophy by developing new syncretic approaches to the interpretation of traditional Chinese philosophy. John Makeham teaches Chinese philosophy and classical Chinese at the Australian National University.
“This is an excellent translation. Makeham’s thorough annotations
guide readers through the difficult text, and reveal the sources
and contexts of Xiong’s philosophy. His meticulous scholarship
increases the intellectual value of this text
significantly.”—Sor-Hoon Tan, National University of Singapore

“This book’s importance for modern Chinese intellectual history
knows no bounds. It would top many people’s lists of the most
historically important books in Chinese philosophy in the last
hundred years. The technical demands of this project are terrific,
and only a handful of people in the world have the right skill set
to have undertaken it. The book will become the most important
resource on Xiong’s work.”—Jason Clower, California State
University, Chico
