Yang gives a discussion of wisdom and practical action that begins in our everyday activities and social relationships, is extended to form universal principles, and finally refers back to actual situations for determining appropriateness. Based on his unification of ontology, epistemology and axiology, Yang thus attempts to overcome the one-sided understanding of action in modern Western philosophy, targeting in particular the excessively linguistic, logical, and abstract focus found in the American analytic tradition.Modern Chinese Philosophy10.Act (Philosophy)Practice (Philosophy)Act (Philosophy)fastPractice (Philosophy)fastAct (Philosophy)Practice (Philosophy)Act (Philosophy)Practice (Philosophy)128/.4Yang Guorong1957-1527556D'Ambrosio Paul J1168292Flavel Sarah1572932NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910798102103321On human action and practical wisdom3848324UNINA
