  • Common Sense, How to Exercise It-Yoritomo Tashi

    Common Sense, How to Exercise It-Yoritomo Tashi
    Nov 9 2026
    Common Sense, How to Exercise It by Yoritomo Tashi.

    One of three seminal philosophical works by the twelfth century Japanese Shogun, Yoritomo-Tashi. (From the Preface) He knows how to clothe his teachings in fable and appealing legend, and his exotic soul, so near and yet so far, reminds one of a flower, whose familiar aspect is transmuted into rare perfume. By him the sternest questions are stripped of their hostile aspects and present themselves in the alluring form of the simplest allegories of striking poetic intensity. When reading his works, one recalls unconsciously the orations of the ancient philosophers, delivered in those dazzling gardens, luxuriant in sunlight and fragrant with flowers. In this far-away past, one sees also the silhouette of a majestic figure, whose school of philosophy became a religion, which interested the world because it spoke both of love and goodness.

    The subject of this little book [1923] is of general interest to people who are acquainted with things Chinese. The dragon has played a large part in Chinese thought through four thousand and more years…. The author is peculiarly fitted to undertake this piece of work. He was born in China and speaks the Chinese language as a native. Thus, he has had the first-hand knowledge and the language to help him in his study. He has been studying on the subject of the dragon for fourteen years. In this time, he has traveled over more than one half the number of provinces of China…. The author’s acquaintance with the people and the language of China have made it possible for him to go to original sources and to study the subject from every angle. (Introduction) The son of American missionaries, Luther Newton Hayes was born in 1883, in Soochow, China.

  • Great Learning & The Doctrine of the Mean-Confucius 孔子, Zengzi 子輿, Zisi 子思

    Great Learning & The Doctrine of the Mean-Confucius 孔子, Zengzi 子輿, Zisi 子思
    Nov 4 2026
    Great Learning & The Doctrine of the Mean by Confucius, Zengzi 子輿 and Zisi 子思.

    The Great Learning (Traditional Chinese: 大學, Simplified: 大学, Pinyin: Dàxué, Korean: 대학, Japanese: 大学, Vietnamese: Đại Học) is one of the Four Books of Confucianism (Great Learning, Doctrine of the Mean, Analects, Mencius). The book consists of a short main text attributed to Confucius (孔子) and ten commentary chapters attributed to his disciple Zengzi (曾子). This translation also includes interspersed notes by the 12th-century philosopher Zhu Xi (朱熹). Zhu Xi's master, Cheng Yi (程颐), says, "The Great Learning is a book transmitted by the Confucian school, and forms the gate by which first learners enter into virtue. That we can now perceive the order in which the ancients pursued their learning is solely owing to the preservation of this work, the Analects and Mencius coming after it. Learners must commence their course with this, and then it may be hoped they will be kept from error."
