Question of Terms Simplified: Or the Meaning of Shan, Ling, and Ti in Chinese Made Plain by Induction (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
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.
