Synopsis
""Mencius on the Mind: Experiments in Multiple Definition"" is a book written by I. A. Richards that explores the philosophical ideas of the Chinese philosopher Mencius on the nature of the mind. The book focuses on the concept of multiple definitions, which is a method of defining a word or concept by providing several different definitions that are all accurate but have different connotations. Richards uses this method to analyze Mencius' ideas about the mind and how it relates to human nature, ethics, and society. The book also includes a discussion of the relevance of Mencius' ideas to modern-day psychology and philosophy. Overall, ""Mencius on the Mind"" is a thought-provoking exploration of ancient Chinese philosophy and its relevance to contemporary thought.1932. British literary critic, theorist of literature and education, in this original work, Richards aims to call attention to a fascinating field for exploration, Chinese modes of meaning, by comparison to which it is possible to clarify our contemporary methods of controlling meanings. After applying the results of this comparative discussion, this book presents the Chinese view of psychology based on the work of Mencius, a view that is relevant to the problem of the relationship of science to value.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Long out of print, I. A. Richards's extraordinary 1932 foray into Chinese philosophy is worth reviving for its detached interpretation of the Chinese classics.
