Description
A practical and succinct reading guide to the philosophy of classic and modern political texts from Asia.
>The focus throughout is on how to read the texts. Tacking complex ideas and unknown concepts, each chapter follows the same format. The historical context is provided before the central themes and arguments are discussed. An excerpt from the text is accompanied by a close reading of the main ideas which unpack the complexities. A glossary and further reading suggestions give additional support.
