| Abstract | "This book is a survey of prominent issues and views during the culminating period of classical Chinese philosophy, the third century BC. The discussion is targeted primarily at the educated general reader who will enjoy an intellectually sophisticated treatment that assumes no prior familiarity with the material. Students of Chinese thought will find the book presents novel perspectives on several movements in early Chinese philosophy and devotes extensive attention to relatively neglected texts, such as the Guanxi and Luo's Annals. The book includes six chapters organized topically around issues that a general philosophical readership can easily appreciate in the fields of metaphysics and metaethics, political theory, ethics, moral psychology, epistemology, and philosophy of language and logic. The discussion emphasizes the shared concerns, rival doctrines, and competing criticisms presented in third-century BC texts while explicating the distinctive issues, conceptual framework, and background assumptions of classical Chinese thought. One aim of the book is to introduce the rich philosophical discourse of early China. Another is to allow readers to discover for themselves various ways in which ancient Chinese thought might fruitfully be put into dialogue with issues and views familiar from different periods and traditions of Western philosophy"-- Provided by publisher. |
