Bringing together a number of case studies, this book shows how
from early on Chinese philosophical discourses unfolded through
innovation and the subversion of dominant forms of thinking.
Narrowing in on the commonplace Chinese motto that "the three
teachings" of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism "are joined into
one", as if there had never been any substantial differences
between or within these schools of thought, a team of esteemed
contributors challenge established views. They explain how the
Daoist tradition provided a variety of alternatives to prevailing
Confucian master narratives, reveal why the long history of
Confucianism is itself full of ambiguities, disputes, and competing
ideas and discuss how in Buddhist theory and practice, the
subversion of unquestioned beliefs and attitudes has been a prime
methodological and therapeutic device. By drawing attention to
unorthodox voices and subversion as a method, this exciting
collection reveals that for too long the traditional division into
"three teachings" has failed to do justice to the diversity and
subtlety found in the numerous discourses constituting the history
of Chinese philosophy. Critique, Subversion and Chinese Philosophy
finally makes such innovative disruptions visible.
