Cheng-Zhu school

    0.01 sec.

Cheng-Zhu school

 or Ch'eng-Chu school

Chinese school of Neo-Confucianism. Its leading philosophers were Cheng Yi (see Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi) and Zhu Xi, for whom the school is named. Cheng Yi taught that to understand li (basic truths), one should investigate all things in the world through induction, deduction, historical study, or political activity. Zhu Xi maintained that rational investigation was central to moral cultivation. The school dominated Chinese philosophy until the Republican Revolution (1911).

The school the latter two founded, also called the Learning of the Heart-Mind, challenged many views of the orthodox Cheng-Zhu School, or Learning of Principle, named after Song dynasty philosophers Cheng Yi (1033-1107) and Zhu Xi (1130-1200) The selection and translations of passages are intended as an introduction to major themes and concepts, rather than anything like a comprehensive treatment of the school.
