The center of this prodigious work of scholarship is a fresh
examination of the range of Chinese culture thought during the
formative period of Chinese culture. Benjamin Schwartz looks at the
surviving texts of this period with a particular focus on the range
of diversity to be found in them. While emphasizing the problematic
and complex nature of this thought he also considers views which
stress the unity of Chinese culture.
Attention is accorded to pre-Confucian texts, to the evolution
of early Confucianism, to Mo-Tzu, to the "Taoists" the legalists,
the Ying-Yang school, the "five classics" as well as to
intellectual issues which cut across the conventional
classification of schools. The main focus is on the high cultural
texts, but Mr. Schwartz also explores the question of the
relationship of these texts to the vast realm of popular
culture.
