9789629962227: Notions of Time in Chinese Historical Thinking

Sinopsis

Implicit in its title, this book aims at giving readers a better understanding of Chinese notions of time in the tradition of Chinese historical thinking. ""Time"" is a basic subject of humanistic enquiry and this book consists of nine essays, which have given in-depth studies to Chinese ways of conceiving ""time"" from a variety of perspectives, with the philosophical, historical and anthropological being most salient. The subject matter therefore straddles several disciplines, and individual essays will be of interest to different clusters of scholars. It is also a stimulating book for lay readers who are broadly familiar with Chinese history.
