Xiong Shili 熊十力(1885-1968) was one of the most important Chinese philosophers of the twentieth century, and a founding figure of the modern New Confucian school of philosophy. At the core of his metaphysics is one of the key conceptual polarities in traditional Chinese philosophy: Reality (ti 體) and Function (yong 用). Xiong Shili’s Understanding of Reality and Function, 1920-1937 presents a detailed examination and analysis of the development of Xiong Shili’s conception of Reality and Function between 1920 and 1937. While scholars have tended to focus on Xiong’s mature ti-yong philosophical system, which was initially established in the early 1930s, this study explains how that system was gradually formed, providing a more comprehensive basis for understanding the development of Xiong’s philosophical thought in later periods.

"... this is in fact the first English-language monograph entirely dedicated to Xiong's philosophy. This in itself marks Sang's work as an important step forward in the field of modern Chinese philosophy in the English-speaking world. [...] Sang's monograph will serve as a reference for years to come on the topic of Xiong's theory of the nonduality of Reality and Function, a topic that deserves much more attention than it has so far received in European languages. In itself, this is a great contribution to the slowly but steadily expanding field of modern Chinese philosophy."
