Hsiung Shih-li (1885–1968), Chinese contemporary New Confucian philosopher. He was a revolutionary when young and later studied Wei-shih (Vijnanavada, ‘Consciousness-Only’) philosophy at the China Buddhist Institute under Ou-yang Ching-wu (1871–1943). But, dissatisfied, he developed his New Wei-shih philosophy of creativity based on the insights he derived from the I-Ching. He became influential and had Mou Tsung-san, T’ang Chün-i, and Hsü Fu-kuan among his disciples. After the Communist takeover in 1949, he still rejected materialism, but embraced a radical social philosophy that was not shared by most of his former disciples.
