Exploring the intersection of psychology and philosophy, this book highlights the unique contributions of psychological insights to philosophical discourse. Early chapters compare Chinese and Western philosophical traditions, advocating for the Chinese concept of heart-mind over the Western mind.

The discussion culminates in a nuanced view of psychological egoism, suggesting that human instincts and aspirations transcend simple categorizations, offering a fresh perspective on morality.
