- Information
Description
This is the first English-language book on the philosophy of Ji Kang.
Moreover, it offers the first systematic treatment of his philosophy, thus filling a significant gap in English-language scholarship on early medieval Chinese literature and philosophy. David Chai brings to light Ji Kang’s Neo-Daoist heritage and explores the themes in his writings that were derived from classical Daoism, most notably the need for humanity to return to a more harmonious co-existence with Nature to further our own self-understanding.
His analysis is unique in that it balances translation and annotation with expositing the creative philosophizing of Neo-Daoism.
Chai analyzes the entirety of Ji Kang’s essays, exploring his philosophical reflections on music, aesthetics, ethics, self-cultivation, and fate. Reading Ji Kang/s Essays will be of interest to scholars and students of Chinese philosophy and literature.
It offers the first comprehensive philosophical examination of a heretofore neglected figure in Neo-Daoism.
