| Summary | "近思录" by Xi Zhu and Zuqian Lü is a philosophical work written in a historical context that aligns with Confucian thought, likely during the late Ming dynasty to Qing dynasty period. The text serves as a reflection on the nature of human existence, ethics, and the principles that govern societal interactions, emphasizing the vital role of virtues like benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. At the start of the work, the authors introduce complex metaphysical concepts, beginning with the idea of the "Ultimate" and its connection to the "Supreme Ultimate," exploring the dual forces of Yin and Yang and their manifestations in the physical world. The text articulates the principles of existence and change, discussing how virtues relate to human behavior through the lens of ancient philosophical thought. Through various dialogues and teachings, the reader is presented with insights into the nature of goodness, the importance of self-cultivation, and the way individuals should understand their roles within the greater cosmic order.
