"Tao, Nature and Man" is one of Jin's main works, especially among his works published in English. It draws upon some of the main concepts in all of his philosophy. Those are the concepts which I outlined in the article, however I think the article could also benefit from a deeper analysis of "Tao, Nature and Man". I only outlined the basic concepts of Jin's metaphysics, but it is most definitely more complicated than I expressed here. There are entire other levels of thought that I didn't get into 1) because I didn't have time, and 2) because I didn't quite understand all of it. Perhaps someone with a stronger background in Western philosophical thought might be able to understand Jin better than I. Additionally, I think the article would benefit from an exploration of some of Jin's other works. He has a few essays in English in which he speaks about his views on Chinese Philosophy and Politics (some of which I mention in the article). Although these works do not play directly into Jin's metaphysical concepts, they help to explain where Jin was coming from when he wrote his philosophy, and thus help to shed light on the nuances of Jin's work.
