Chapter 1. The Birth of Traditional Chinese Ethical Thoughts in West Zhou (1046－771 B.C.) -- Chapter 2. The Ethical Thoughts of Spring and Autumn Era (770－476 B.C.) and Warring States Era (475－221 B.C.) -- Chapter 3. The Ethical Thoughts of Qin to Han Dynasties (221 B.C.－A.D. 220) -- Chapter 4. The Ethical Thoughts of Wei and Jin Dynasties (220－420) -- Chapter 5. The Ethical Thoughts of North and South Dynasties plus Sui and Tang (420－960) -- Chapter 6. The Ethical Thoughts of Song to Mid-Ming (960－c.1500) -- Chapter 7. The Ethical Thoughts of Latter-Ming to Opium War (c.1500－1840).

This book traces the trajectory of traditional Chinese ethics from West Zhou Dynasty (1046－771 BC) through Qing Dynasty (1616—1912) and covers a myriad of Chinese philosophers who have expressed their ideas about the relationships between Heavenly Dao vs. Earthly Dao, Good vs. Evil, Morality vs. Legality, Knowledge vs. Behavior, Motive vs. Result, Righteousness vs. Profitability, Rationality vs. Animality. In this book, the readers can find Confucius’s discussion on Rite and Benevolence, Lao Zi’s meditation on Inaction of Great Dao, Zhuang Zi’s elaboration on “Transcendental Freedom”, Mohist utilitarian “Universal Love”, and Mencian theory of “Primordial Good Humanity”, to name just a few phenomenal figures. A compact yet elaborate, panoramic yet profound guidebook to traditional Chinese ethical thought, this book is an excellent window to showcase traditional Chinese mental and spiritual legacy. Composed, translated, and proofread by brilliant scholars, it produces a fluent and coherent English discourse of Chinese morality and ethics, nimbly spinning together the threads of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and other ideological schools with brief references to the historical situation. Consequently, it provides English readers, especially those curious about Chinese psychology and rationality, with thought-provoking and horizon-expanding perspectives, and provides Chinese readers, especially those of philosophy and translation, with a great number of typical and characteristic quotes of archaic Chinese that have never been translated before. Ultimately, it is a fundamental threshold to learning about Chinese people, Chinese culture, Chinese morality, Chinese mentality, Chinese policy, and Chinese diplomacy.
