Nowy traktat o samej świadomości (Xin weishi lun)

Wprowadzenie

Xiong Shili published the first version of the Xin weishi lun in classical Chinese in 1932 while teaching at Peking University; a largely rewritten version in the vernacular followed in 1944. The title presents the book as a new version of the Yogacara doctrine of “consciousness-only” that he had studied under Ouyang Jingwu, but it breaks with that doctrine: for Xiong, substance (ti) and function (yong) are one, and reality exists only as ceaseless creative change. He draws on the Book of Changes and on the Ming philosopher Wang Yangming. Ouyang’s circle attacked the book at once as a betrayal of Buddhism. Through his students Tang Junyi, Mou Zongsan and Xu Fuguan it became a founding text of modern New Confucianism.
