Wang Fuzhi (1619-1692) was an important thinker of late Ming and early Qing Dynasties from Hengyang, Hunan. He was once enthusiastic for the anti-Qing movements. When they failed, he became a hermit, commonly known "Scholar Chuanshan", and dedicated himself to writing. Academically speaking, Wang Fuzhi inherited and further developed the materialism of his predecessors and established the system of Simple Materialism. He believes that the world is material; material is primary and eternal. |
