Ideology of Power and Power of Ideology in Early China explores
ancient Chinese political thought during the centuries surrounding
the formation of the empire in 221 BCE. The individual chapters
examine the ideology and practices of legitimation, views of
rulership, conceptualizations of ruler-minister relations, economic
thought, and the bureaucratic administration of commoners. The
contributors analyze the formation of power relations from various
angles, ranging from artistic expression to religious ideas,
political rhetoric, and administrative action. They demonstrate the
interrelatedness of historiography and political ideology and show
how the same text served both to strengthen the ruler's authority
and moderate his excesses. Together, the chapters highlight the
immense complexity of ancient Chinese political thought, and the
deep tensions running within it. Contributors include Scott Cook,
Joachim Gentz, Paul R. Goldin, Romain Graziani, Martin Kern, Liu
Zehua, Luo Xinhui, Yuri Pines, Roel Sterckx, and Charles Sanft.
