Description

Explore the foundations of classical Chinese thought with this comprehensive work from Oxford University Press. This book offers a new perspective on the most creative and vibrant era of Chinese philosophy. By examining the works of foundational thinkers such as Confucius, Mozi, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, and Han Feizi, readers gain a deep understanding of the origins of moral and political thinking in China. The text examines the contestation of humaneness, justice, and personal freedom that shaped these ancient traditions. It also addresses the modern relevance of these classics, noting how contemporary Chinese intellectuals and politicians look to these texts, particularly Confucian works, for sources of moral authority and political legitimacy. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in religious studies, philosophy, and the historical development of Eastern political thought.
