About This Item
Garden City, New York: Blue Ribbon Books, 1945. Black textured boards, gilt spine titles, lt. shelf wear. Deckled pages very good. Dj some edge wear, rub, protected in new clear sleeve. Now sorrowful, now joking, but always in deadly earnest, the Chinese philosopher faces the grim facts of war and the grimmer prospects of peace. Dismayed by the materialism of the West, he offers not a "blue-print" for the postwar world, but an approach to thinking about it, that is unique to us but not new at all to the Orient, wise in the ways of Man. A positive contribution from the store of Chinese political philosophy to the vexed question of world peace. We cannot be saved by science, mathematics, or by modern mechanism. We need deep thoughts of the wine of wisdom. 216 pages.. Reprint Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
