An engrossing history of Chinese philosophy and culture from an eminent Cambridge professor How did the ancient Chinese think about the world? What does environmental consciousness stand for in the Chinese tradition? Where does China's obsession with education come from? 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 life in the Western world. But how much do we know about its origins and key beliefs, especially compared to the many histories of Western philosophy? 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. With evocative examples from philosophy, literature, and everyday life, he shows us how the ancient Chinese have shaped the thinking of a civilization that is now influencing our own.
