He received honorary doctorates in literature from Princeton University, Delhi University and Columbia University. 1952 Professor, Philosophy Department, Peking University. 1in the summer of 923, Feng Youlan successfully passed the doctoral defense of Columbia University in the United States with a comparative study of life ideals (also known as the theory of the gain and loss of heaven and man) and obtained a doctorate in philosophy. After returning to China in the autumn of, I wrote Outlook on Life along the direction of my doctoral thesis. 1924 was written as Philosophy of Life, which was used as a high school textbook. In this book, Feng Youlan established his philosophical belief in neo-realism and began to combine neo-realism with neo-Confucianism. During his teaching in yenching university, Feng Youlan taught the History of Philosophy of China, and completed the first and second volumes of the History of Philosophy of China in 193 1 and 1934 respectively. Later, as a university textbook, he made great contributions to the discipline construction of the history of philosophy of China. From 1939 to 1946, Feng Youlan published six books in succession, which are called "books written in Zhenyuan": Neo-Confucianism (1937), Neo-Shixun (1940) and New Things Theory (65438). Through Six Books of Zhenyuan, Feng Youlan established a neo-Neo-Confucianism ideology and became the most influential philosopher in China at that time. The 1950s and 1960s were the transition period of Feng Youlan's academic thought. After the founding of New China, Feng Youlan abandoned his neo-Neo-Confucianism system, accepted Marxism, and began to study the history of China's philosophy under the guidance of Marxism. He is the author of the first and second editions of History of Philosophy in China, Essays on History of Philosophy in China, Two Essays on History of Philosophy in China, First Draft of Historical Materials on History of Philosophy in China, Forty Years' Review and Seven-volume History of Philosophy in China. Feng Youlan was included in the Philosopher's Guide by China philosophers in the 20th century. A Brief History of China's Philosophy, written by Mr. Feng Youlan in the 1940s, is a simple and exquisite work. I feel refreshed after reading it every time. It is a good book to express the essence of China's philosophy in simple words.
