The book explores the intersection of psychology and philosophy, emphasizing the advantages of the Chinese heart-mind concept over the Western mind. It critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of both philosophical traditions. Key discussions include the overlooked roles of empathy and emotion in speech acts, the relationship between justice and psychological insights, and a reevaluation of psychological egoism. The author argues that human instincts and aspirations transcend simple egoism and altruism, suggesting a more nuanced understanding of morality.
