Li Zehou is widely regarded as one of China's most influential
contemporary thinkers. He has produced influential theories of the
development of Chinese thought and the place of aesthetics in
Chinese ethics and value theory. This book is the first
English-language translation of Li Zehou's work on classical
Chinese thought. It includes chapters on the classical Chinese
thinkers, including Confucius, Mozi, Laozi, Sunzi, Xunzi and
Zhuangzi, and also on later eras and thinkers such as Dong Zhongshu
in the Han Dynasty and the Song-Ming Neo-Confucians. The essays in
this book not only discuss these historical figures and their
ideas, but also consider their historical significance, and how key
themes from these early schools reappeared in and shaped later
periods and thinkers. Taken together, they highlight the breadth of
Li Zehou's scholarship and his syncretic approach-his explanations
of prominent thinkers and key periods in Chinese intellectual
history blend ideas from both the Chinese and Western canons, while
also drawing on contemporary thinkers in both traditions. The book
also includes an introduction written by the translator that
helpfully explains the significance of Li Zehou's work and its
prospects for fostering cross-cultural dialogue with Western
philosophy. A History of Chinese Classical Thought will be of
interest to advanced students and scholars interested in Chinese
philosophy, comparative philosophy, and Chinese intellectual and
social history.

A classic in Chinese Philosophy of Aesthetics for the last twenty
years, Li Zehou's Four Essays on Aesthetics (Meixue-sijiang) is
finally translated in English to bring philosophical insight to
Western readers. Li's seminal work focuses on the widely debated
philosophies in China concerning the origins, manifestations,
importance, and transformative power of beauty, art, and aesthetic
experiences. Drawing upon the influences of both Eastern and
Western philosophers and writers, Li discusses the origination of
the practices of beauty and aesthetics, and the origins of art
credited to Shamanistic rituals, while rejecting the concepts of
Western aesthetics and embracing the traditional Chinese purpose
for art: to mold human minds. He stresses the importance of the
involvement of aesthetic philosophers to advocate technology and
aspects of society that will contribute to the harmony among
individuals, environments, and social relationships. Begun as a
series of engaging conversations, Li Zehou and Jane Cauvel reveal
their philosophical presuppositions and expose a deeper,
cross-cultural understanding of the philosophy of aesthetics. Their
ground breaking work creates a bridge between the traditional and
the modern, the East and the West, and brings us one step closer to
understanding the beauty in human nature.
