In this book, Wang Zhongjiang closely examines these texts and, by parsing the complex divergence between ancient and modern Chinese records, reveals early Chinese philosophy to be much richer and more complex than we ever imagined. As numerous and varied cosmologies sprang up in this cradle of civilization, beliefs in the predictable movements of nature merged with faith in gods and their divine punishments. Slowly, powerful spirits and gods were stripped of their potency as nature's constant order awakened people to the possibility of universal laws, and those laws finally gave birth to an ideally conceived community, objectively managed and rationally ordered.Asia—HistoryTranslation and interpretationPhilosophyOriental literatureLanguagesLanguage and languagesChina—HistoryAsian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715000Translationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N47000History of Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E15000Asian Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/831000Asian Languageshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N15000History of Chinahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010Asia—History.Translation and interpretation.Philosophy.Oriental literature.Languages.Language and languages.China—History.Asian History.Translation.History of Philosophy.Asian Literature.Asian Languages.History of China.181/.11FOR003000HIS008000LIT008010OCC027000PHI003000bisacshWang Zhongjiangauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut991336BOOK9910255239403321Order in Early Chinese Excavated Texts2505213UNINA
