The articles assembled in this volume present an important
selection of Professor Jao Tsung-i's research in the field of the
early Chinese intellectual tradition, especially as it concerns the
human condition. Whether his focus is on myth, religion, philosophy
or morals, Jao consistently aims to describe how the series of
developments broadly associated with the Axial Age unfolded in
China. He is particularly interested in showing how early China had
developed its own notion of transcendence as well as a system of
prediction and morals that enabled man to act autonomously, without
recourse to divine providence.
