Takanashi, Yoshio,1950-

Emerson and Neo-Confucianism :Crossing Paths Over the Pacific /by Yoshio Takanashi ; with a foreword by Lawrence Buell. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Neo-Confucianism, Japan, and "nature is principle": foundations for a comparison of Emerson and Zhu Xi -- The fundamental principle and the generation of the universe -- Cosmic law and human ethics -- Realization of the self.

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in Nature, "The moral law lies at the centre of nature and radiates to the circumference." The great Chinese synthesizer of Neo-Confucian philosophy Zhu Xi expressed a similar idea in the twelfth century: "In the realm of Heaven and Earth it is this moral principle alone that flows everywhere." Though living in different ages and cultures, these two thinkers have uncanny overlap in their work. A comparative investigation of Emerson's Transcendental thought and Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism, this book shows how both thinkers traced the human morality to the same source in the ultimately moral nature of the universe and developed theories of the interrelation of universal law and the human mind.
