本书之写法独特，唐先生言之为"即哲学史以言哲学"。唐先生反对无据而妄臆，盖古人之言，不能仅执一端，否则必造成不可解的冲突；而应就其所当之义，分疏条列，使之各得其位。顺是，唐先生把历史上中国先哲言人性之种种理论次第展示、以寻求其本原之义，还曾普遍水恒之价值，以寻求皆一一融和于一广大的义理世界之可能。本书就是以中国哲学各主要观念作为线索，足见唐先生对哲学问题思考之圆熟。 (The writing style of this book is unique, with Mr. Tang describing it as "a discussion of philosophy through its history". Mr. Tang is against baseless, objective conjecture and covering up the words of the ancients. One cannot only look at things from one side, otherwise there will be inapprehensible conflict. One should separate out the reasons in the argument and put them in the right place. In light of this, Mr. Tang displays all of the theories of Chinese philosophers in history and attempts to trace their origins. He also comes across values that were once extremely widespread and the possibility of a world where everything combines into one. This book uses all of the main concepts of Chinese philosophy as its thread. It can show the level of proficiency Mr. Tang has when it comes to thinking about philosophical problems.)
