Chinese Philosophy of History. From Ancient Confucianism to the End of the Eighteenth Century (Bloomsbury Academic, London 2020) is out!
Challenging the Eurocentric misconception that the philosophy of history is a Western invention, the book reconstructs Chinese thought from its beginnings to the end of the eighteenth century and offers the first systematic treatment of classical Chinese philosophy of history.
From reviews:
“Chinese Philosophy of History offers an original and unparalleled description and analysis of the enduring Chinese fascination with the nature, meaning, and writing of history, displaying an impressive command of historical sources and a mastery of philosophical understandings of history as process, narrative, and expression in other forms of culture.” –Philip J. Ivanhoe, Distinguished Chair Professor, College of Confucian Studies and Eastern Philosophy, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea
