While his contribution to China’s intellectual history and the outlines of his political life are well known, the relation between his thought and what he did in his capacity as a Ming official has been given less attention. Prior writing on Wang Yangming has passed judgment on his ideas by either idealizing or condemning him for how he treated those he was assigned to govern. Through a detailed reconstruction of his career in the context of issues of empire, ethnicity, and violence, George Israel demonstrates that the truth lies somewhere in the middle.Sinica Leidensia ;Volume 116.Neo-ConfucianismElectronic books.Neo-Confucianism.181/.112Israel George Lawrence1966-1028774MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910494629703321Doing good and ridding evil in Ming China2444883UNINA
