A Must Purchase,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Construction of Space in Early China (Suny Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture) (Paperback)
The Construction of Space in Early China (Suny Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture)
Without opening "The Construction of Space in Early China," this reader immediately knew of the outstanding scholastic caliber of its author, Mark Edward Lewis, not to mention the publishing caliber of the State University of New York Press (SUNY) and its excellent SUNY series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture. Consequently, my expectations were high and I am very pleased to say they were not disappointed in the least. This is a must purchase for those interesting in obtaining a more thorough appreciation and understanding of the Chinese quest for a harmonious union between themselves and their biophysical and socio-anthropological environment that gave rise to a Weltanschauung, or "world view." This study describes their way of reasoning and how they conceived of themselves as being an integral part of the imaged cosmos and intrinsically interjoined with its spiritual, physical, and moral "influences." This is a must purchase for those interesting in obtaining a more thorough grasp of this dimension of Chinese civilization how the Chinese conceived of space and time in relation to themselves and, in turn, their governance of themselves and those other cultures around them. My only regret is that this important study does not have a glossary of relevant terms and words, along with their corresponding ideograms, for the convenience of its readers.
