The Eclipse of Classical Thought in China and The West

Beschreibung

Tracing the common elements of the Chinese and Western classical traditions, this book examines their strengths, their role in shaping constitutions and the consequences of their eclipse. Presupposing no prior knowledge of philosophy, it offers an interpretation of these traditions and of the origins of modern ethical and political thought.
