Description
Explore the complexities of ancient Chinese philosophy with On the School of Names in Ancient China. Part of the Monumenta Serica Monograph Series, this Routledge publication examines the School of Names (mingjia ), a group of thinkers from the Warring States period (479-221 B.C.). Often viewed through the lens of linguistic puzzles and paradoxes, this study provides a deep analysis of the era's intellectual history. Author Bernard Solomon investigates the works of two primary representatives: Huizi (Master Hui or Hui Shi) and Gongsun Long. The text offers a detailed look at the ten paradoxes of Huizi as recorded in historical accounts. This book serves as an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the history of Asian philosophy and the development of conceptual thought in ancient China.
