About this Series

The Collection of Critical Biographies of Chinese Thinkers—under the general editorship of Professor Kuang Yaming, the late honorary president of Nanjing University—is the most comprehensive collection of research materials on Chinese thinkers assembled since the beginning of the twentieth century. Based on the work of Professor Kuang and two hundred other eminent Chinese scholars, these critical biographies, in Chinese and English, present profound ideas in a clear, concise way. They make the wisdom of these great thinkers, and their moving stories, accessible to the general reader for the first time.
