Kitayskaya mysl: ot Konfutsiya do povara Dina

Zusatztext

The Chinese influence on the material and spiritual life of the modern world is becoming more and more noticeable, but the inhabitants of other countries still know almost nothing about China and its culture. Based on this indisputable fact, the Cambridge sinologist Rule Sterks offers to all of us living outside the ecumene of the Celestial Empire a concise but thorough outline of the history of Chinese thought: political, social, philosophical, religious, ecological, and so on. He masterfully manages his material, drawing before us a complete and, most importantly, a living picture of the worldview of the Chinese. Sterks' superbly written work makes it possible to understand what it means to perceive the world in a Chinese way and to live in it in a Chinese way. In 2020, the author won the annual British Hessel-Tiltman Award for the best non-fiction history book published in English.
