Beschreibung

Across a set of three volumes spanning more than three thousand years, this is a survey of thinkers central to the development of philosophical thought in China.

From the origins of Chinese thought in the Zhou dynasty to the contemporary Chinese environmental philosophy and bioethics, the three volumes, totalling 1,440 pages and bringing together a team of experts, cover:

Volume I Chinese Ancient and Early Imperial Philosophy
Volume II Chinese Imperial Philosophy After Buddhism
Volume III Chinese Philosophy from the Eighteenth Century to the Present

Alongside the giants of Chinese philosophy, such as Confucius, Zhu Xi, and Li Zehou, the selection includes philosophers often neglected from traditional surveys, figures such as Huan Tan, Cheng Xuanying, Ye Shi, Jiao Xun, Zhang Shenfu, and Li Xiaojiang. A focus on the rhetoric form and cultural background of Chinese philosophical thought runs through each volume, together with a discussion of seismic political, social, and economic events: the fall of dynasties, the rise of the imperial examination system, the modernization of Chinese academia, up to post-1978 politics.

Thinkers and traditions are connected to broader, topical themes - Zhuangzi and the idea of perspectivism; Tiantai and the problem of evil; Zhang Junmai and models of democracy - and interconnections between theories and meditative, moral, and medical practices are explored.

This is a history of Chinese philosophy that handles recently excavated bamboo texts, women philosophers in ancient China, Buddhist logic, medieval aesthetics, Sino-Muslim thought, and modern ethnic minority philosophy. Close attention is paid to the mutual exchange of ideas between China, East Asia, and Europe, providing a much-needed perspective that captures the monumental contribution of Chinese thinkers and builds a truly global history of philosophy.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

These three volumes present an outstanding set of essays by globally renown scholars that offer an invaluable introduction to the breadth, depth, insight, and wisdom of Chinese philosophical traditions. Its broad coverage of schools and thinkers, comprehensive historical range, and attention to issues such as methodology as well as views concerning the nature and writing of history distinguish it as a unique and indispensable resource for anyone interested in the legacy, contemporary state, and future potential of Chinese philosophical reflection. * Philip J. Ivanhoe, Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Georgetown University, Washington, USA * For its temporal span, its conceptual richness, and the impressive list of contributors, Chinese Philosophy and Its Thinkers will certainly prove itself to be a trove of indispensable scholarly tools for those interested in studying and teaching Chinese philosophy. What a precious reference work for students at all level of training, as well as for philosophers interested in approaching Chinese thoughts from a plurality of methodological and historical perspectives. * Luca Maria Scarantino, President of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies and the 25th World Congress of Philosophy * This inspiring and labor-extensive trilogy unlocks those broad, complex, and captivating problems, issues, scales and gazes to engage in Chinese philosophy in particular, nevertheless philosophy in general for a deeper knowledge, reflection and discernment. * Robin R. Wang, Professor of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, USA * This impressive collection is the most comprehensive work in English on the history of Chinese philosophy. In three volumes, its broad range covers ideas and thinkers from ancient times to the present day.
