An exceptional contribution to the teaching and study of Chinese
thought, this anthology provides fifty-eight selections arranged
chronologically in five main sections: Han Thought, Chinese
Buddhism, Neo-Confucianism, Late Imperial Confucianism, and the
Twentieth Century. The editors have selected writings that have
been influential, that are philosophically engaging, and that can
be understood as elements of an ongoing dialogue, particularly on
issues regarding ethical cultivation, human nature, virtue,
government, and the underlying structure of the universe. Within
those topics, issues of contemporary interest, such as Chinese
ideas about gender and the experiences of women, are brought to
light. Introductions to each main section provide an overview of
the period, while brief headnotes to selections highlight key
points. The translations are the works of many distinguished
scholars, and were chosen for their accuracy and accessibility,
especially for students, general readers, and scholars who do not
read Chinese. Special effort has been made to maintain consistency
of key terms across translations. Also included are a glossary,
bibliography, index of names, and an index locorum of The Four
Books.
