Here, in a series of living essays by men of exceptional competence, is an interdisciplinary approach to the essentials of Chinese philosophy and culture. These essays are selected chapters from the Proceedings of the four East-West Philosophers’ Conferences held at the University of Hawaii (1939, 1949, 1959, 1964).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese: understanding a people and their culture through key words and language. The Chinese Mind pinpoints areas of China's traditional values and behaviors that play a significant role in the business and social relationships of the Chinese. It also identifies key areas of Chinese culture that have changed as a result of the adoption of a market-based economy and other elements of Western culture. It includes discussion topics and questions, along with an extensive selection of Chinese "code words" that explain the essence and role of key elements of the traditional culture that have survived into modern times. Covering everything from the importance of Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher, to the influence of foreign fast food and video games, this book provides a wide-ranging glimpse into the seemingly opaque Chinese mind. The Chinese Mind is an excellent overview of Chinese tradition, history, and culture that is perfect for the classroom, tourists or outsiders living or doing business in China. Some of the vital concepts explored here include: Yin and Yang, the search for balance in all things Mianji, the importance of face Hong, looking at things holistically De, the power of virtue Guo cui, the national essence of the Chinese Zhong fu, the pursuit of insight Bi, unity the Chinese way

Book excerpt: "In this simple and elegant narrative, Dr. Jeffrey Brown demonstrates that the nature of our particular language profoundly influences the way that we think. His subject is the Chinese culture, and the influence of the Chinese language on the structure of Chinese thought. During the course of this book, as the author travels abroad, studies Chinese and visits with various individuals, he learns that science is only one way of thinking, and that it has its roots in Western languages. The unique organization of the Chinese language forms the psychological basis for thinking in Chinese."--http://www.1stbooks.com/
