New Treatise on the Uniqueness of Consciousness

Xiong Shili (1885–1968) was a luminary in Modern New Confucianism and Buddhist philosophy, especially Yogacara. He shaped modern Chinese philosophy by developing new syncretic approaches to the interpretation of traditional Chinese philosophy. John Makeham teaches Chinese philosophy and classical Chinese at the Australian National University.

“This is an excellent translation. Makeham’s thorough annotations guide readers through the difficult text, and reveal the sources and contexts of Xiong’s philosophy. His meticulous scholarship increases the intellectual value of this text significantly.”—Sor-Hoon Tan, National University of Singapore
