Arguably, death as a concept has not been nearly as central a preoccupation in Chinese culture as it has been in the West. However, even in a society that seems to understand death as a part of life, responses to mortality are revealing and indicate much about what is valued and what is feared. This edited volume fills the lacuna on this subject, presenting an array of philosophical, artistic, historical, and religious perspectives on death during a variety of historical periods. Contributors look at material culture, including findings now available from the Mawangdui tomb excavations; consider death in Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist traditions; and discuss death and the history and philosophy of war. 410 0$aSUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture. 606 $aDeath 606 $aPhilosophy, Chinese 615 0$aDeath. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Chinese. 676 $a128/.50951 701 $aOlberding$b Amy$01704458 701 $aIvanhoe$b P.
