Description

Explore the complexities of ancient Chinese philosophy with this scholarly study from the Monumenta Serica Monograph Series. This book provides a deep look into the School of Names (mingjia ), a group of thinkers from the Warring States period (479-221 B.C.) often associated with linguistic and conceptual puzzles. Author Bernard Solomon examines the works of the two primary representatives of this school: Huizi (Master Hui) and Gongsun Long. By moving past accusations of mere sophistry, this work offers a serious philosophical understanding of their contributions. Readers will find a detailed analysis of the ten paradoxes of Huizi as recorded in the text, making this an essential resource for students and scholars of Asian history and philosophy.
