A brilliant history of ancient China's masters of philosophy -- and
how they help us understand China todayIn Ways of Heaven, leading
China scholar Roel Sterckx offers an engrossing introduction to
classical China's world of ideas. Drawing on evocative examples
from philosophical texts, literature, and everyday life over
centuries of Chinese history, Sterckx introduces major thinkers and
traditions, illuminates key concepts like the dao, qi, yin, and
yang, and examines questions of leadership, social order, death,
nature, and more. He also reveals how these ideas shape
contemporary China, from table manners at a traditional banquet, to
the Chinese obsession with education and family, to the rhetoric of
political leaders and the nation's grand strategy.Essential reading
for students, travelers, businesspeople, and anyone curious about
this rising global power, Ways of Heaven shows that to comprehend
China today we must learn to think Chinese.
