Reviews for The Art of Chinese Philosophy: Eight Classical Texts and How to Read Them

"""[The Art of Chinese Philosophy] is a book I’d wanted to find before: a lucid, but not simplifying, introduction to eight classic texts, full of lapidary poetry.""---Hannah Sullivan, Times Literary Supplement ""A strikingly original, reliable, readable, and therefore most welcome introduction to the gigantic topic of China's great philosophy.""---Barbara Hendrischke, Religious Studies Review"
