Franklin Perkins uses this observation as the thread by which to trace the effort by Chinese thinkers of the Warring States Period (c.475-221 BCE), a time of great conflict and division, to seek reconciliation between humankind and the world. Perkins provides rich new readings of classical Chinese texts and reflects on their significance for Western philosophical discourse.</P>World philosophies.Philosophy, ChineseTo 221 B.CGood and evilPhilosophy, ChineseGood and evil.170.931Perkins Franklin1509507MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787081903321Heaven and earth are not humane3741439UNINA
