《早期中国的修身》一书从多方面介绍了早期中国（约公元前1000年至公元前100年）修身思想中最基本的实践。这一研究涉及中国和整个东亚的思想史上最重要的中国经典和几十位学者的文章，其中既包括已被学界接受的文献，又涵盖新发掘的资料。在此基础上，本书以这些思想的共同内核为研究对象，围绕思想家们（比如著名思想家老子和孔子）最为关注的话题和范畴展开了分析。它不仅指引我们去思考中国思想史更广阔的图景，还从学术角度提出了中国世界观这个重要的范式，为横跨古今、中外的群体思想范式比较研究创造了条件。Self-Cultivation in Early China is an introduction to multiple aspects of the foundational practice of self-cultivation in early China (c.1000 to 100 BCE). Drawing on the Chinese classics and the dozens of scholars' texts (both received and excavated) that together form the basis of intellectual history for China and all of East Asia, the book's analysis relies on the topics and categories that were central to the thought of these authors, including such well-known thinkers as Confucius and Laozi. This book describes a salient point of view from which we may consider the broader landscape of Chinese intellectual history and presents an important paradigm of the scholarly Chinese worldview that is ideal for comparison with paradigms in other communities, ancient or modern, across the globe.
