Dialectical thought is at the core of Karl Marx's work and all
subsequent attempts to build on his legacy: Marxism. And, arguably,
Marx's special departure into dialectics represents an anomaly in
that tradition and all of Western philosophy. Marxism finds its
philosophers in the academy; in trade unions; in former soviet
states; in industrial and non-industrial nations and this makes it
distinct from all other modern philosophies. It is certainly the
most international modern philosophical movement. Chinese
Dialectics From Yijing to Marxism is an unparalleled investigation
into the conversation between Western Marxism and Chinese, or
Eastern Marxism. An autochthonous version of Marxism persists in
China coming to fruition through the work of Mao Zedong. Chenshan
Tian contends that the conversation between Eastern and Western
Marxism results in a striking feature of dialectics that pervades
the everyday thinking and speech of ordinary persons in China. No
study to date has undertaken the task of tracing the development of
Marxism in China through it's ancient philosophical texts. This
book is absolutely essential reading in the disciplines of
comparative political theory, philosophy, and Asian studies.
