Famous People with Name Feng

Feng Youlan            Origin/Culture/Country: Chinese

Feng Youlan: was a Chinese philosopher who was instrumental for reintroducing the study of Chinese philosophy in the modern era. He studied philosophy in the China Public School in Shanghai, between 1912–1915, a preparatory school for college, then in Peking University between 1915 and 1918, where he was able to study Western philosophy and logic as well as Chinese philosophy. He went on to teach at a number of Chinese universities such as Jinan University, Yanjing, and Tsinghua University in Beijing). From 1934 to 1938 (and again from 1946 to 1949) he was Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Tsinghua. It was while at Tsinghua that Feng published what was to be his best-known and most influential work, his History of Chinese Philosophy (1934, in two volumes). In it he presented and examined the history of Chinese philosophy from a viewpoint which was very much influenced by the Western philosophical fashions prevalent at the time, which resulted in what Peter J. King of Oxford describes as a distinctly positivist tinge to most of the philosophers he described. Nevertheless, the book became the standard work in its field, and had a huge effect in reigniting an interest in Chinese thought.
