Li Zhi and the incitement of critical judgment.Symptoms of an Unruly Age compares the writings of Li Zhi (1527-1602) and his late-Ming compatriots to texts composed by their European contemporaries, including Montaigne, Shakespeare, and Cervantes. Emphasizing aesthetic patterns that transcend national boundaries, Rivi Handler-Spitz explores these works as culturally distinct responses to similar social and economic tensions affecting early modern cultures on both ends of Eurasia. The paradoxes, ironies, and self-contradictions that pervade these works are symptomatic of the hypocrisy, social posturing, and counterfeiting that afflicted both Chinese and European societies at the turn of the seventeenth century.HISTORY / Asia / ChinabisacshSociologyPhilosophyfast(OCoLC)fst01123904Political sciencePhilosophyfast(OCoLC)fst01069819CulturePhilosophyfast(OCoLC)fst00885075Critical theoryfast(OCoLC)fst00883690Civilization, ModernPhilosophyfast(OCoLC)fst00863096SOCIAL SCIENCESociologyGeneralbisacshSOCIAL SCIENCERegional StudiesbisacshSOCIAL SCIENCEAnthropologyGeneralbisacshCritical theoryCulturePhilosophyPolitical sciencePhilosophyCivilization, ModernPhilosophySociologyPhilosophyHISTORY / Asia / ChinaSociologyPhilosophy.Political sciencePhilosophy.CulturePhilosophy.Critical theory.Civilization, ModernPhilosophy.SOCIAL SCIENCESociologyGeneral.SOCIAL SCIENCERegional Studies.SOCIAL SCIENCEAnthropologyGeneral.Critical theory.CulturePhilosophy.Political sciencePhilosophy.Civilization, ModernPhilosophy.SociologyPhilosophy.895.18/4609Handler-Spitz Rebecca1223092The Geiss Hsu Foundationfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910563096103321Symptoms of an Unruly Age2837279UNINA
