Classical Chinese Philosophy: An Introduction

By Manyul Im

Opening up the key thinkers, movements and texts for the student new to the subject, Classical Chinese Philosophy covers the classical period from the writings of Confucius, through Daoism and Mohism, to Legalism in the Guanzi and the Hanfeizi. By focusing on the key primary sources and considering a full range of different approaches to the texts, this introduction encourages students to engage directly and critically with the major works of classical Chinese thought. The book also includes a brief guide to written Chinese and a glossary of Chinese terms to help students interpret for themselves the texts discussed. In addition, summaries and guides to additional reading help those studying the subject for the first time master the topics covered in each of the chapters.
