王夫之 (Wáng Fūzhī)

17th Century

Wang Fuzhi (1619–1692) was a prominent Ming loyalist scholar who, after the Manchu conquest, lived in reclusion, dedicating his life to an immense body of philosophical and historical writing. He systematically critiqued prevailing Neo-Confucian idealism, particularly the Lu-Wang school, advocating for a robust materialist philosophy grounded in historical experience and practical governance, profoundly influencing later generations of Chinese thought.
