The dynamics of masters literature

This book explores readings of seven examples of Masters Literature and asks what proponents of a "Chinese philosophy" gained by creating a Chinese equivalent of philosophy and what we might gain by approaching these texts through other disciplines, questions, and concerns.

By historicizing the notion of Chinese philosophy, we can, the author contends, answer not only the question of whether there is a Chinese philosophy but also the more interesting question of the future of philosophical thought around the world. --Book Jacket.
