Tao. Nature and Man (Masterpiece by a Liberal Arts Bilingual Master)

Media comments: Jin Yuelin combined Western philosophy with Chinese philosophy to establish his own unique philosophical system. He was also one of the first logicians to introduce modern Western logic systems to China. Mr. Jin's demeanor is very similar to that of Ji Kang, the great metaphysician of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Ji Kang's characteristics are that he "goes beyond the famous teachings and lets nature take its course". He is innocent and spontaneous; he has clear thinking and strong logic; he appreciates art and has a high sense of aesthetics... We can continue to study Mr. Jin's works, but Mr. Jin's demeanor will never be seen again. ——Philosopher Feng Youlan The biggest feature of Jin Yuelin's works is that he is logically rigorous and highly speculative. Compared with Mr. Feng Youlan's works which are clear and easy to understand, Jin's works require patience, repeated reading, and careful appreciation of its meaning. ——Philosopher Xing Bensi Content introduction: "Tao, Nature and Man" selects Mr. Jin Yuelin's four most valuable philosophical and logical English papers that best reflect his research results.
