Description

Explore the profound impact of the Guodian bamboo manuscripts with this scholarly work from Springer. These ancient texts, discovered in Hubei Province in 1993, represent an archaeological find of immense importance, often compared to the Dead Sea Scrolls. This volume provides a deep look into the philosophical, historical, religious, and interpretative aspects of these unique documents. By studying these manuscripts, readers gain access to texts that lack counterparts in the standard transmitted tradition. They offer a rare window into the evolution of Chinese philosophy during the period between the death of Confucius (551-479 BCE) and the writings of Mencius. This book is an essential resource for those studying Eastern mystical philosophy and the historical development of ancient Chinese thought through these significant archaeological discoveries.

Examines texts that do not have counterparts in the traditional transmitted history of Chinese thought.
