The Chinese philosophy of fate[electronic resource] /by Yixia Wei. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2017. - x, 222 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

The Theory of Heaven's Arbitrary Will -- The Theory of the Causality of Divine Destiny -- A Modified Vision of Divine Determination -- On Respecting Life and Accepting Fate -- The Destiny Theory of Separation of Heaven from Man -- Fatalism of Heaven-mankind Interaction -- Natural Fatalism -- Subjection to Destiny -- Natural and Hedonist Subjection to Destiny -- A Natural Attitude Towards Life and Health -- The Theory of Destiny in Righteousness -- The Duality of Fate Theory -- The Theory of Fate Being Created by Man of High Stature -- Mind Creates Fate Theory -- Bibliography.

This book is based on the study of the traditional Chinese philosophy, and explores the relationship between philosophy and people's fate. The book points out that heaven is an eternal topic in Chinese philosophy. The concept of heaven contains religious implications and reflects the principles the Chinese people believed in and by which they govern their lives. The traditional Chinese philosophy of fate is conceptualized into the "unification of Heaven and man". Different interpretations of the inter-relationships between Heaven, man and their unification mark different schools of the traditional Chinese philosophy. This book identifies 14 different schools of theories in this regard. And by analyzing these schools and theories, it summarizes the basic characteristics of traditional Chinese philosophy, compares the Chinese philosophy of fate with the Western one, and discusses the relationship between philosophy and man's fate.
