DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Based on the Legalist philosophy of power the Han dynasty accomplished its political and intellectual unification, forming the longest consummate academic ideological system in the world - Confucianism. During the Confucianist manipulation of the cultural material the sanctified historical texts became representations of power-lineage and philosophico-historiographical research of the stereotyped procedure. The book sets forth the composition, constitution and structure of the Han academic system through a hermeneutico-semiotic methodology. The tension between Confucian ethics and Han-Confucianist ideological morality is shown to entail a general model of the link of ethics and ideology in historical life. The Confucian thought and the Confucianist (ju) socio-cultural system is emphatically distinguished to reveal different cultural layers in Chinese historical society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book explores how the human-scientific mode of spiritual resources may be reorganized to balance the extremely materialist civilization of today. It discusses the dominance of the high-tech commercialization of the Earth and the serious weakening of rational-spiritual stamina, as well as institutional rigidity in the humanities. The book also considers traditional Chinese intellectual history inspired by the classical Chinese humanist-ethical spirit as revealing the cross-historical universality of humanist-lined ethics rooted in human nature. Although the natural sciences and social sciences have led to the unprecedented progress of material human civilization, the fundamental factor that determines the rational orientation of spiritual civilization should be the modern human sciences that are reorganized in terms of semiotic strategy and humanistic ethics, leading hopefully to a new era of enlightenment for mankind. The book asserts that humanistic ethics, as the central spirit of the humanities, includes both epistemology and action dynamics. The pertinent activation of both depends definitively on the subject’s free willpower.
