Synopsis

This fascinating new history of Chinese philosophy places great emphasis on the interaction between philosophical and historical movements in China from prehistory of the Twentieth century. As a result, it is an ideal way to follow China’s often complex social and historical processes--with philosophical movements serving as signposts. From the earliest attempts at divination, feudal systems, and treatises on war and strategy, the book blooms in showing the flowering of some of China’s greatest philosophical traditions (Daosim, Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism), and how they ebb and flow, changing and evolving with major and minor alterations through the centuries. For the reader interested not only in the theoretical framework of Chinese religion but how it interacts with history, this book will be a welcome addition to any philosophy library. Jiefu Xiao is Professor of philosophy at Wuhan University and vice chair of the Society for the History of Chinese Philosophy and the China Association for the Study of Confucius. Jinquan Li is Professor of philosophy at Sun Yat-sen University.
