The most complex issues and difficult tensions in the great Neo-Confucian synthesis are at the juncture between the metaphysics of the cosmos and the human psyche. The Four-Seven Debate is perhaps the most searching examination of this tension ever carried out. \"This book introduces to an English-reading audience an extremely important issue in Korean Neo-Confucianism. Moreover, it shows how that philosophical debate was really about practical issues that arise in the course of moral cultivation. I find this book, particularly the introduction, the most lucid account of the origin, course, and significance of the Four-Seven Debate available in any language other than Korean, and it is better than most of the Korean material. \"The Four-Seven Debate has relevance far beyond Korean intellectual history. This book should be useful to people interested in philosophical or moral issues from a wide variety of cultural traditions. It will bring the Four-Seven Debate to the attention of scholars and writers exploring questions of evil and the human condition who would otherwise have been unaware of it.\" -- Don Baker, University of British Columbia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51908856774944,"sku":"NEW0791417522","price":38.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-four-seven-debate-an-annotated-translation-of-the-most-famous-controversy-in-korean-neo-confucian-thought-s-u-n-y-series-in-korean-studies-suny-series-korean-studies-0791417522","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
