Question of Terms Simplified: Or the Meaning of Shan, Ling, and Ti in Chinese Made Plain by Induction (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Question of Terms Simplified<br/><br/>IT has long appeared to me that the question of terms for God and Spirit in Chinese has been rendered ten-fold more complicated and difficult of settlement than it need be by the manner in which almost every writer has treated it. I by no means plead innocent in this respect. I have felt the temptation to discuss irrelevent topics, and raise side issues, to take advantage of a neighbour's slip at one point, and run off into a dense fog at another, to play in fact at the game of terms, instead of simply trying to elucidate the question in the interests of truth.

Question of Terms Simplified: Or the Meaning of Shan, Ling (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book simplifies the complex question of terms used for 'God' and 'spirit' in the Chinese language. The author believes that the issue has been unnecessarily complicated, and aims to clarify it by analyzing various words and their usage in Chinese literature. The author suggests that by avoiding side issues and irrelevant discussions, the question can be resolved. By delving into classical Chinese texts, the author argues that words like 'shan' and 'ling' have varied meanings and should be understood within their context. The book highlights the nuances of these terms, exploring their philosophical and religious implications, and ultimately providing insights into the nature of spirituality and the human soul. Importantly, the author emphasizes the need to differentiate between 'spirit' as a personal essence and 'spirit' as a quality or attribute. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330226506_0
