Susan Blake: Standards and Reference in Early Chinese Philosophy of Language, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Philosophy of Language in Early China characterizes early Chinese philosophy of language through a focus on standards ('fa') and the activity of giving examples ('ju'). It argues that standards are understood by early Chinese philosophers to provide the groundwork for judgment and language, not only in the Mohist school, but also in other thinkers from the Warring States and early Han, particularly the Zhuangzi and Xunzi.
>Providing new insights into ancient Chinese thought and the nature of language, this book will be of interest to those working in comparative philosophy, philosophy of language, Chinese philosophy and East Asian studies.
