Chris Fraser presents a rich and broad-ranging study of the
culminating period of classical Chinese philosophy, the third
century BC. He offers novel and informative perspectives on
Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism, Legalism, and other movements in
early Chinese thought while also delving into neglected texts such
as the Guanzi, Lu's Annals, and the Zhuangzi 'outer' chapters,
restoring them to their prominent place in the history of
philosophy. Fraser organizes the history of Chinese thought
topically, devoting separate chapters to metaphysics and
metaethics, political philosophy, ethics, moral psychology,
epistemology, and philosophy of language and logic. Focused
specifically on the last century of the Warring States era,
arguably the most vibrant, diverse period of philosophical
discourse in Chinese history, the discussion covers the shared
concerns, rival doctrines, and competing criticisms presented in
third-century BC sources. Fraser explicates the distinctive issues,
conceptual frameworks, and background assumptions of classical
Chinese thought. He aims to introduce the philosophical discourse
of early China to a broad audience, including readers with no prior
familiarity with the material. At the same time, the thematic
treatment and incisive interpretations of individual texts will be
of interest to students and specialists in the field.
