'A terrific book, rich and endlessly thought provoking. . . If you
are looking for one book to understand the core ideas of Chinese
civilisation, read this' - Michael Wood An engrossing history of
ancient Chinese philosophy and culture from an eminent Cambridge
expert We are often told that the twenty-first century is bound to
become China's century. Never before has Chinese culture been so
physically, digitally, economically or aesthetically present in
everyday Western life. But how much do we really know about its
origins and key beliefs? How did the ancient Chinese think about
the world? In this enlightening book, Roel Sterckx, one of the
foremost experts in Chinese thought, takes us through centuries of
Chinese history, from Confucius to Daoism to the Legalists. The
great questions that have occupied China's brightest minds were not
about who and what we are, but rather how we should live our lives,
how we should organise society and how we can secure the well-being
of those who live with us and for whom we carry responsibility.
With evocative examples from philosophy, literature and everyday
life, Sterckx shows us how the ancient Chinese have shaped the
thinking of a civilization that is now influencing our own.
