Wang Fuzhi 王夫之

王夫之，又称王船山，中国朴素唯物主义思想的集大成者，与黄宗羲、顾炎武并称为明末清初的三大思想家。王夫之晚年居南岳衡山下的石船山，著书立说，故世称其为“船山先生”。王夫之一生著述甚丰，其中以《读通鉴论》、《宋论》为其代表之作。
Wang Fuzhi, also called Wang Chuanshan, was a master of the system of Chinese Simple Materialism by inheriting and further developing the materialism of his predecessors. Wang, together with Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu were collectively known as the three major thinkers of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Wang spent his later years at Shichuanshan at the foot of Hengshan Mountain in writing books to expound his theories, and hence gained his alternative name, “Scholar Chuanshan”. Wang Fuzhi wrote lots of works throughout his life, with Du Tongjian Lun (Comments on “History as a Mirror”) and Song Lun (On the Song Dynasty) as his representative works.
