Bartsch shadi (342 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. The surprising story of how Greek classics are being pressed into use in contemporary China to support the regime?s political agendaAs improbable as it may sound, an illuminating way to understand today?s China and how it views the West is to look at the astonishing ways Chinese intellectuals are interpreting?or is it misinterpreting??the Greek classics. In Plato Goes to China, Shadi Bartsch offers a provocative look at Chinese politics and ideology by exploring Chinese readings of Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, and other ancient writers. She shows how Chinese thinkers have dramatically recast the Greek classics to support China?s political agenda, diagnose the ills of the West, and assert the superiority of China?s own Confucian classical tradition.In a lively account that ranges from the Jesuits to Xi Jinping, Bartsch traces how the fortunes of the Greek classics have changed in China since the seventeenth century. Before the Tiananmen Square crackdown, the Chinese typically read Greek philosophy and political theory in order to promote democratic reform or discover the secrets of the success of Western democracy and science. No longer. Today, many Chinese intellectuals use these texts to critique concepts such as democracy, citizenship, and rationality. Plato?s ?Noble Lie,? in which citizens are kept in their castes through deception, is lauded; Aristotle?s Politics is seen as civic brainwashing; and Thucydides?s criticism of Athenian democracy is applied to modern America.What do antiquity?s ?dead white men? have left to teach? By uncovering the unusual ways Chinese thinkers are answering that question, Plato Goes to China opens a surprising new window on China today.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. On his deathbed in 19 BCE, Vergil asked that his epic, the Aeneid, be burned and not published. If his wishes had been obeyed, western literature - and maybe even western civilization - might have taken a different course. The Aeneid has remained a key text of university courses since the rise of universities, and has been invoked at key points of human history - whether by Saint Augustine to illustrate the fallen nature of the soul, by settlers to justify manifest destiny in North America, or by Mussolini in support of his Fascist regime. In this fresh and fast-paced translation of the Aeneid, Shadi Bartsch brings the poem to the modern reader. Along with the translation, her introduction will guide the reader to a deeper understanding of the epic's enduring influence. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
