 | | They hoped that this all-encompassing philosophy would give the ruler and the government the knowledge to understand the heavenly and earthly sectors of the triad and the means necessary to regulate the human sector so as to coordinate it with heaven and earth and establish perfect harmony in the universe. | | | The development of Buddhism in China was shaped by the Chinese predilection for syncretism, the reconciliation of opposing religious creeds. | | | Between the 3rd and 8th centuries, however, Buddhist doctrine was translated and disseminated through all levels of Chinese society by Chinese pilgrims returning from India and by the great Central Asian translator Kumarajiva. |

| | It was asserted that Chinese philosophy and religion consisted, in the end, of materialism, atheism, or at most idolatry; and therefore, it would not be possible to find an equivalent of the Christian concept of God, i. | | | (31) In the Discours Leibniz does not explicitly attribute this doctrine to the Chinese (in the end Leibniz reserves the authorship of the doctrine for himself) but the intention of his arguments is to justify the connection between Chinese doctrine and the doctrine of pre-established harmony. | | | The purpose of Leibniz’s thesis is to demonstrate that it is possible to deduce from the Chinese doctrines and their ancient origins a natural theology that would be compatible with Christian natural religion or theology. |

| | Unfortunately, like many other systems of philosophy and religion that had deviated from their origins; corrupted by clerics and usurped by religious leader for purposes of their own; Buddhism and Taoism started not as a religion, but rather, as a philosophy. | | | Contrary to the superstitious versions of Buddhism and Taoism that come with a multitudes of gods, the original Buddhist and Taoist philosophy considered the concept of god as irrelevant. | | | The purpose of this section is to help promote Buddhism and Taoism as philosophies and at the same time dispel the general perception that Buddhism and Taoism are mere idol worships, incense burning and fortune telling. |

| | Chinese Philosophy |
| | The categories "name" and "actuality" were always contained in traditional Chinese philosophy and the categories "subject" and "object" were borrowed from Buddhism, but all four are related to the question of knowledge. | | | The criterion for the "good" can vary, but, according to traditional Chinese philosophy, unity of "knowledge" and "practice" must be regarded as a prerequisite. | | | Gradually it assimilated Buddhism (the Hua Yan sect, the Chan sect) and finally developed into the neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming dynasties, a new school of Confucianism that had absorbed ideas of both the Buddhist and the Daoist schools which it developed at an even higher plane. |

| | Comparative Philosophy: Chinese and Western |
| | When we get to Chinese Buddhism, there is more evidence for metaphysical concerns that at the same time are urgently practical. | | | But it must also be noted that there is argument in Chinese philosophy. | | | Even if we were to share with them a belief in certain values, that would not necessarily mean that we place the same importance on those values relative to other values we (and perhaps they also) hold. |

| | Legalism and Chinese Philosophy |
| | Even though both Confucianism and Legalism called for governmental hierarchy and adherence to tradition, the difference between the two schools is that Confucianism advocated ruling benevolently by example. | | | In contrast to Taoism's intuitive anarchy, and Confucianism's benevolence, Legalism is a Classical Chinese philosophy that emphasizes the need for order above all other human concerns. | | | Hsün Tzu, much like the Italian political philosopher Machiavelli, draws a clear distinction between what pertains to heaven and what pertains to man. Later Legalist thinking influenced Chinese political theorists like Tung Chung-shu, who believed in a rigid mathematical proportion in social arrangements. |
