"De Chineesche Filosofie, Toegelicht voor niet-Sinologen, 1. Kh'oeng Foe Tsz'..." by Henri Borel is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. This book serves as an introduction to the philosophy of Confucius, specifically tailored for readers unfamiliar with Chinese studies. Borel aims to present Confucian philosophy in an accessible manner for a Dutch audience, particularly focusing on its moral foundations and political implications, which he argues are crucial for understanding
Chinese societal structures. The opening of the work outlines Borel's motivation for writing this book, highlighting the scarcity of literature on Chinese philosophy in the Dutch language. He expresses a desire to make Confucian ideas comprehensible to those involved in governance and administration in Dutch colonies, where interactions with Chinese communities were prevalent. Borel discusses the fundamental concepts of Confucius’ philosophy, emphasizing the importance of the "Sing" (human nature) and "Tao" (the path of virtue), alongside the significance of moral education (Kiao) in achieving an ideal society. The introduction sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Confucian texts, aiming to illuminate their principles for the broader public. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
