Yin Haiguang is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Yin Haiguang as writer and philosopher (1919-1969).
Yin Haiguang was born at Huanggang County in 1919. His recorded nationality is China. He studied at National Southwestern Associated University and Tsinghua University.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at National Taiwan University.
The recorded fields of work are literature, pedagogy and philosophy.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.
That the work was done from China matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Yin Haiguang died in 1969, aged 50. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
