Sommario/riassunto

Winner of the 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award The Later Han dynasty, also known as Eastern Han, ruled China for the first two centuries of the Christian era. Comparable in extent and power to the early Roman empire, it dominated east Asia from present-day Vietnam to the Mongolian steppe. Rafe de Crespigny presents here the first full account of this period in Chinese history to be found in a Western language. Commencing with a detailed account of the imperial capital, the history describes the nature of government, the expansion of the Chinese people to the south, the conflicts of scholars and officials with eunuchs at court, and the final collapse which followed the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans and the rise of regional warlords.

Sommario/riassunto

Emprisonne par la Prusse pour ses convictions politiques, reprime par la Restauration francaise pour ses idees politiques, Victor Cousin (1792-1867) est surtout connu pour avoir "(mis) le feu a la philosophie". En puisant dans la philosophie allemande le necessaire pour revitaliser une pensee francaise fossilisee, il s'imposera comme le philosophe la monarchie de Juillet. Etroitement liee a l'Etat, son oeuvre pose un grand nombre de problemes, de legitimite notamment, que la revue Corpus , en 1991, s'etait essayee a resoudre. A la veille du 150eme anniversaire de sa mort, cette reedition est bienvenue.
