| Annotation: | Tu identifies the Chinese commitment to the continuity of being as the source of their seeing nature in three primary motifs, wholeness, dynamism, and continuity. Rather than focusing on the lack of a Chinese creation myth or personal god, Tu finds explorations of concepts regarding ch’i (the creative and unifying factor of the universe) more compelling. He emphasizes, however, that it is the continuous effort of self-cultivation that allows one to ultimately experience all three aspects of nature’s being. |
