Who this is
“Chinese doctors called paralysis "not-humane" — the unfeeling limb — and Cheng Hao built a whole ethics out of that word: to be good is to feel the world as your own body.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The humane person forms one body with all things — and selfishness is a kind of numbness, a limb of the world that has stopped feeling.”
