The Oxford Handbook of Chinese Philosophy collects new essays by both senior and up and coming contributors, on important texts and figures in the history of Chinese thought. The essays cover both well-known texts such as the Analects and the Zhuangzi as well as many of the lesser-known thinkers in the classical and post-classical Chinese tradition. Most of the chapters focus on thinkers or texts in one of three important historical movements: Classical ("pre-Qin") Chinese philosophy, Chinese Buddhism, and the Confucian response to Buddhism ("neo-Confucianism" broadly construed). The volume provides an accessible point of entry into the more challenging and technical post-classical tradition, including Chinese Buddhism and neo-Confucianism from the Song dynasty onward. Topics covered include ethics and its foundations, politics, knowledge, philosophical psychology, and metaphysics. Each essay presents cutting-edge work on important topics in the Chinese tradition and yet is written for a general philosophical audience.
