Recently discovered ancient silk and bamboo manuscripts have
transformed our understanding of classical Chinese thought. In this
book, Wang Zhongjiang closely examines these texts and, by parsing
the complex divergence between ancient and modern Chinese records,
reveals early Chinese philosophy to be much richer and more complex
than we ever imagined. As numerous and varied cosmologies sprang up
in this cradle of civilization, beliefs in the predictable
movements of nature merged with faith in gods and their divine
punishments. Slowly, powerful spirits and gods were stripped of
their potency as nature's constant order awakened people to the
possibility of universal laws, and those laws finally gave birth to
an ideally conceived community, objectively managed and rationally
ordered.
