A philosophical endeavor is underway to bring life back to Confucianism by comparing it to Husserl's Phenomenology and restoring and reconstructing it. The author reduces the features of life to the essence of a thing but returns to life as the essence of Being. He rejects post-philosophy in order to reconstruct the metaphysical and post-metaphysical gradations of Confucianism, which are made along three strata in the life of human beings: no-being, metaphysical thinghood, and post-metaphysical things. This understanding provides a full comprehension of Confucianism. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 256 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 June 2019\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bridge21 Publications, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the Qin and Han dynasties, life has been overlooked in Confucian writings, much like Being, in Western philosophy, was forgotten after the Axial Period. A philosophical endeavor is now underway to bring life back to Confucianism, reviving and reinterpreting Confucianism in light of a comparison between Confucianism and Husserl's Phenomenology. The author reduces the characteristics of life to the essence of a thing, but then restores life as the essence of Being. The author rejects the concept of post-philosophy in favor of reconstructing Confucianism's metaphysical and post-metaphysical gradations. These gradations are made along three strata in the lives of human beings: no-being of anything (a life comprehension), metaphysical thinghood (the absolute Being), and post-metaphysical things (the relative beings). In this way, we have a complete understanding of the concept of Confucianism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 672g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 235 x 27 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781626430068\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Huang Yushun,Li Xuening","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100386914554,"sku":"9781626430068","price":71.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/9b8fdab8229dcf03a3aa3446ee3b6195.jpg?v=1624668247","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/love-and-thought-life-confucianism-as-philosophy","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
