About the author

He Lin (1902–1992) was a native of Jintang, Sichuan, and a renowned modern Chinese philosopher, translator, and educator, as well as a representative of modern New Confucianism. He studied in the United States and Germany and taught for many years at Peking University; in 1955 he joined the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He devoted his life to translating and studying Western philosophy, especially Hegel's. His translations of Hegel's classic works, such as the Shorter Logic and The Phenomenology of Spirit, are known for their careful terminology and concise style and have provided Chinese scholars with reliable texts for understanding German classical philosophy. His own works, including Culture and Life, blend Chinese and Western thought, address cultural reconstruction and the value of life, and are written in a plain yet reflective style. The library holds thirteen of his works, including translations, treatises, and lecture collections, showing that his writings span both philosophical translation and cultural construction and have had a profound influence on modern Chinese philosophical research.
