description: This book is an introduction in the very best sense of the word. It provides the beginner with an accurate sophisticated yet accessible account and offers new insights and challenging perspectives to those who have more specialized knowledge. Focusing on the period in Chinese philosophy that is surely most easily approachable and perhaps is most important it ranges over of rich set of competing options. It also with admirable self-consciousness presents a number of daring attempts to relate those options to philosophical figures and movements from the West. I recommend it very highly.--Lee H.
