The Religious Thought of Chu Hsi

Recognized as one of the greatest philosophers in classical China, Chu Hsi (1130-1200) is especially known in the West through translations of one of his many works, theChin-su Lu. Julia Ching, a noted scholar of Neo-Confucian thought, provides the first book-length examination of Chu-Hsi's religious thought, based on extensive reading in both primary and secondary sources.
