‎RAND CHRISTOPHER C‎ ‎Military Thought In Early China‎ ‎State University of New York Press Albany: 2017. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Provides a systematic and comprehensive survey of writings on military philosophy in early China. This study of the philosophy of war in early China examines the recurring debate from antiquity through the Western Han period 202 BCE-8 CE about how to achieve a proper balance between martial wu force and civil wen governance in the pursuit of a peaceful state. Rather than focusing solely on Sunzi's Art of War and other military treatises from the Warring States era ca. 475-221 BCE Christopher C. Rand analyzes the evolution of this debate by examining a broad corpus of early Han and pre-Han texts including works uncovered in archeological excavations during recent decades. What emerges is a framework for understanding early China's military philosophy as an ongoing negotiation between three major alternatives: militarism compartmentalism and syncretism. Military Thought in Early China offers a look into China's historical experience with a perennial issue that is not only of continuing relevance to modern-day China but also pertinent to other world states seeking to sustain strong and harmonious societies. Christopher C. Rand is an independent scholar who received his PhD in Chinese history from Harvard University. He is the cotranslator with Joseph S. M. Lau of Ts'ao Y�'s The Wilderness.

‎Raphals Lisa‎ ‎Divination And Prediction In Early China And Ancient Greece‎ ‎8vo, 496pp. Divination was an important and distinctive aspect of religion in both ancient China and ancient Greece, and this book will provide the first systematic account and analysis of the two side by side. Who practised divination in these cultures and who consulted it? What kind of questions did they ask, and what methods were used to answer those questions? As well as these practical aspects, Lisa Raphals also examines divination as a subject of rhetorical and political narratives, and its role in the development of systematic philosophical and scientific inquiry. She explores too the important similarities, differences and synergies between Greek and Chinese divinatory systems, providing important comparative evidence to reassess Greek oracular divination.‎	MareMagnum Pali s.r.l.

‎Raphals Lisa‎ ‎Knowing Words: Wisdom and Cunning in the Classical Traditions of China and Greece‎ ‎8vo, hardcover in dj, as new. xviii + 273pp., appends., bibliog., index, For the craft of Odysseus and the wisdom of Athena were examples of metis, an elusive cast of mind that ranged from wisdom and forethought to craft and cunning. Although it informed many aspects of Greek society, metis was all but absent from the language of Greek philosophy. Invoking indigenous Chinese debates, Lisa Raphals here examines the role and significance of metic intelligence in classical Chinese philosophy, literature, history, and military strategy.Raphals first examines the range of meanings of the Chinese word zhi. As with the Greek metis, the uses of zhi include "wisdom," "knowledge," "intelligence," "skill," "cleverness," and "cunning." Drawing on parallels between the two traditions, she argues that, in China as in Greece, metic intelligence tacitly informed many aspects of cultural and social life. In China, these included views of the nature of knowledge and language, standards of personal and social morality, and theories of military strategy and statecraft. After surveying representative texts from the Warring States period, Raphals considers the function of metic intelligence as the dominant quality of central characters in two novels from the Ming dynasty, the Romance of Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West. Finally, she compares the treatment of themes of heroism and recognition in the Chinese and Greek narrative traditions.‎	MareMagnum Pali s.r.l. Roma, IT [Books from Pali s.r.l.] €158.00 Buy

‎Rapp John A.‎ ‎Daoism and Anarchism: Critiques of State Autonomy in Ancient and Modern China‎ ‎8vo, br. ed. focuses on anti-statist critiques in ancient and modern China and demonstrates that China does not have an unchallenged authoritarian political culture. Treating anarchism as a critique of centralized state power, the work first examines radical Daoist thought from the 4th century BCE to the 9th century CE and compares Daoist philosophers and poets to Western anarchist and utopian thinkers. This is followed by a survey of anarchist themes in dissident thought in the People s Republic of China from 1949 to the present. A concluding chapter discusses how Daoist anarchism can be applied to any anarchist-inspired radical critique today. This work not only challenges the usual ideas of the scope and nature of dissent in China, it also provides a unique comparison of ancient Chinese Daoist anarchism to Western anarchist. Featuring previously untranslated texts, such as the 9th century Buddhist anarchist tract, the Wunengzi, and essays from the PRC press, it will be an essential resource to anyone studying anarchism, Chinese political thought‎	MareMagnum Pali s.r.l.

‎Rathjen, Helga‎ ‎Tsingtau. Eine deutsche Kolonialstadt in China : (1897-1914). (Ethnographie des Alltags, 8).‎ ‎Wien: Böhlau 2021. 324 S, Litverz. Kart. nahezu neuwertig.‎ ‎Heute noch stehen in der chinesischen Millionenstadt Qingdao Fachwerkhäuser im 'neu-nürnbergischen Stil'. Der historische Stadtkern, die deutsche Kolonialstadt Tsingtau (1897-1914), erzählt ein koloniales Gründungsnarrativ deutscher Selbstrepräsentation im Spiegel einer rassistischen Konstruktion des chinesischen Anderen.Tsingtau war eine städtebauliche Selbstinszenierung des Deutschen Reiches, die von bürgerlicher Selbsterfindung und imperialem Anspruch der 'deutschen Kulturnation' auf ihren 'Platz an der Sonne' kündete. Das koloniale Gründungsnarrativ von der 'saubersten und gesündesten Stadt an der ganzen ostasiatischen Küste' untermauerte nicht nur die nationale und bürgerliche Selbstrepräsentation, sondern lieferte auch die Begründung für eine rassistische Ausgrenzung und Disziplinierung der chinesischen Bevölkerung, die sich dem Zugriff der Macht auf unterschiedlichste Weise zu entziehen verstand.Das Buch zeigt, wie Ausgrenzung und Disziplinierung der Mehrheitsbevölkerung und der Rückzug in eine gated community Imaginationen eines Belagerungszustandes durch 'die feindlichen Anderen' hervorbrachten, die auf kolonialen Deutungen der Welt, des Selbst und des Fremden beruhten. Imaginationen, die wir in unseren heutigen postkolonialen Denk- und Handlungsmustern wiedererkennen können.‎ Bookseller reference : 270255	Antiquariat.de Bergische Bücherstube DE - Overath [Books from Bergische Bücherstube] €44.00 Buy
