Genres of Chinese Intellectual Thought

About this book

This book explores the forms through which Chinese intellectual thought is expressed. It systematically addresses the crucial question of how Chinese thought is articulated according to different conventions and examines the historical interplay between literary genres and philosophy in China.

In premodern China, language and thought are deeply intertwined. Pre-modern Chinese thought has a unique logic and cognitive structure. The distinct genre traditions that developed throughout China's long history have shaped the fundamental modes of expressing that thought. This study investigates the expressive forms and cognitive frameworks of Chinese thought through the historical dynamics of genre and philosophy, offering groundbreaking insights into the articulation of Chinese thought.

The book will be essential reading for scholars and students of Chinese and East Asian studies, especially those interested in philosophy, intellectual history, and literary genres.
