"On Tao" uses logical thinking to explore ancient Chinese philosophical thoughts, unravel the way of all things, and help you see the world clearly. The book uses the Tao, Style, and Energy of Chinese Taoism as the basic categories, and constructs a unique ontology through the logical deduction of Western philosophy. The publication of this book brought about a methodological revolution in Chinese academic history, which was of epoch-making significance in the Chinese cultural circle that values perception over logic.

Mr. Jin is profound in scholarship but has few published works. In addition to "Logic" in a university series, I also know of "On Tao".

In terms of Chinese thinking and methods in the past 50 years, Mr. Jin Yuelin is probably the only one in China these days who can truly integrate various method systems and establish a new method system.
——Guo Zhanbo (famous modern scholar of intellectual history)
Another important figure in modern Chinese neorealism is Jin Yuelin. Jin Yuelin's focus is more on epistemology and methodology. His theory is close to new realism, but also has differences with it. In a sense, Jin Yuelin's theoretical achievements can be seen as the logical end of the positivist trend of thought in modern China.

Reader comments
Mr. Jin's book is obscure and difficult to understand. The Tao he understands is the Tao he understands. He interprets the concept of Tao from logic. Ordinary people use images to grasp Tao. Maybe he can see things we can't. However, Tao Weiwei, I think his explanation of Tao is too far-fetched. I haven't finished the book yet.
