Albany, NY State University of New York Press 2001 First edition, first printing. SUNY Series in Chinese Philosophy Hard cover Fine. No dust jacket. First edition. Sewn binding. Boards. 8vo (6.25 x 9.25 inches). 268 p. In this philosophical discourse on the goodness of human nature, Ng finds telling examples of Li Guangdi linking moral cultivation with empirical research and concrete social practices, thereby transforming the Cheng-Zhu metaphysics into a metapraxis― a program of moral self-cultivation informed by a metaphysical notion. ― Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy Ng s book provides the best account of Cheng-Zhu Confucianism in the Qing period that I have seen in any language. It is sophisticated and fair-minded, showing perceptively how Li Guangdi diverged from the master, Zhu Xi, while ardently defending him. The book is gracefully written, intellectually rigorous, and theoretically sophisticated. The author has an excellent command of the relevant Chinese and Japanese materials, and his translations are quite fluid. ― Richard J. Smith, Rice University
