| Summary: | Challenging the Euro-centric misconception that the philosophy of history is a Western invention, this book provides the first systematic treatment of classical Chinese philosophy of history. Dawid Rogacz charts the development from pre-imperial Confucian philosophy of history, the Warring States period and the Han dynasty through to the neo-Confucian philosophy of the Tang and Son era and finally to the Ming and Qing dynasties. He provides insight into original texts and the ideas of over forty lesser-known Chinese philosophers, opening new lines of inquiry and directions for comparative study. |
