Book Synopsis
Munro was more than an intellectual mentor. He has been an unfailing source of wisdom, inspiration, and support.

Over five decades, Donald J. Munro has been one of the most important voices in sinological philosophy. His rapprochement with contemporary cognitive and evolutionary science helped bolster the insights of Chinese philosophers, and set the standard for similar explorations today. In this festschrift volume, students of Munro and scholars influenced by him celebrate Munro’s body of work in essays that extend his legacy, exploring their topics as varied as the ethics of Zhuangzi’s autotelicity, the teleology of nature in Zhu Xi, and family love in Confucianism and Christianity.

Trade Review
“Munro’s hallmark as a teacher was the absence of an official ideology and an open and welcoming tolerance to differences of opinion.” — Chad Hansen, Professor Emeritus, The University of Hong Kong
