The <i>Wenzi</i>: Creativity and Intertextuality in Early Chinese Philosophy: Studies in the History of Chinese Texts, cartea 9

Autor Paul van Els
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mar 2018
The Wenzi is a Chinese philosophical text that enjoyed considerable prestige in the centuries following its creation, over two-thousand years ago. When questions regarding its authenticity arose, the text was branded a forgery and consigned to near oblivion. The discovery of an age-old Wenzi manuscript, inked on strips of bamboo, refueled interest in the text. In this combined study of the bamboo manuscript and the received text, Van Els argues that they belong to two distinct text traditions as he studies the date, authorship, and philosophy of each tradition, as well as the reception history of the received text. This study sheds light on text production and reception in Chinese history, with its changing views on authorship, originality, authenticity, and forgery, both past and present.

Recenzii

"To sum up, this book provides a rigorous account of the evolution of the received Wenzi, presents the complexity of its textual nature, and proposes a novel approach to investigate its philosophy. Paul van Els has broken new ground on which not only the philosophy of the Wenzi can receive more detailed and systematic studies, but also the philosophies in other early texts can now be better reexamined, reinterpreted, and reconstructed." - Fan He, Dao 20 (2021).
