The intellectual contributions of the Han (206 BCE-CE 220) have for
too long received short shrift in introductory anthologies of
Chinese thought. It was during the Han's unprecedented
centuries-long unification of China that a canon of classical texts
emerged, syncretic and scholastic trends transformed the legacy of
pre-imperial philosophy, and popular religious movements shook
official verities. With Mark Csikszentmihalyi's collection, readers
at last have an accessible, eclectic introduction to the key themes
of thought during this crucial period. Providing clear introductory
essays and elegant, readable translations, Csikszentmihalyi
exercises a judicious revisionism by breaking down stereotypes of
philosophical orthodoxy and offering a subtler vision of
cross-fertilization in thought. His juxtaposition of texts that
reflect very different social milieux and their problems gives a
more vivid picture of the Han than has ever before been available
in an English-language collection. The result is a work that should
by rights be required reading in intellectual history courses for
years to come. --David Schaberg, University of California, Los
Angeles
