A practitioner of the Old Text exegesis of the Classics, he maintained a position on the court during a turbulent time of political crises, uprisings, and civil war, spanning the reigns of four emperors. His principal work, Hsin-lun , differs from other books on political criticism in that it does not deal primarily with history but takes many examples from contemporary social and political life. While belonging to the Old Text group of court officials and scholars, Huan T'an differed radically from them in his stress on direct knowledge, in his range of practical experience, and in his outspoken criticism of popular opinions. He was not a systematic philosopher, but his ideas were influential in the return to a more worldly conception of Confucianism. To translate Huan T'an's writings, one must reconstruct the texts. Timoteus Pokora uses two nineteenth-century fragments as a basis around which to orient quotations from Hsin-lun from sixty-four other sources, primarily encyclopedias and commentaries. Pokora provides notes to give context to these short references and to account for discrepancies between quotations and originals, and he includes a large index to add coherence and points of entry. 410 0$aMichigan monographs in Chinese studies ;$vno. 20. 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aLanguage Arts$2OverDrive 606 $aMulti-Cultural$2OverDrive 606 $aSociology$2OverDrive 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aLanguage Arts. 615 7$aMulti-Cultural. 615 7$aSociology. 676 $a181.11 686 $aLAN000000$aSOC000000$aSOC008000$2bisacsh 700 $aHuan$b Tan$fapproximately 40 B.C.-approximately 32 A.D.,$01276117 702 $aPokora$b Timoteus 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910477330703321 996 $aHsin-lun (New treatise), and other writings by Huan T?an (43 B.C.-28 A.D.)$93084364 997 $aUNINA
