Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The story of Chinese political thought is not a linear march but a living dialogue-one that has adapted, clashed, and reinvented itself across millennia. It begins with Confucius (K¿ngf¿z¿ ¿¿), whose 6th-century BCE teachings on virtue and ritual laid the groundwork for a moral vision of governance. Yet even in his era, rivals like Mencius (Mèngz¿ ¿¿) and Xunzi (Xúnz¿ ¿¿) sparred over human nature, debating whether humanity's innate goodness could sustain order or if strict laws were necessary. These early fractures set the stage for centuries of intellectual ferment.By the time of the Qin dynasty, the Legalists (F¿ji¿ ¿¿) had turned philosophy into policy, advocating centralized power and harsh penalties to unify a fractious empire. Their legacy lingered, even as Han-era thinkers sought balance, weaving Confucian ethics into statecraft while grappling with Buddhism's rise during the Tang. The Neo-Confucian revival under Zhu Xi (Zh¿ X¿ ¿¿) later redefined 'harmony (héxié ¿¿)' as not just social but cosmic, a vision that shaped East Asia for centuries.Then came the upheavals of the modern age. The 19th century's crises-imperial decline, foreign incursions-shattered old certainties. Revolutionaries like Sun Yat-sen reimagined people's sovereignty (rénmín zh¿quán ¿¿¿¿), while Mao Zedong's Communist revolution (gémìng ¿¿) rejected tradition entirely, seeking to erase class divides through socialist transformation. Yet Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening-up (g¿igé k¿ifàng ¿¿¿¿) in the 1980s marked a pragmatic pivot, embracing markets while tightening political control-a tension that persists today.Under Xi Jinping, China's leaders invoke both the Mandate of Heaven (ti¿nmìng ¿¿) and the Chinese Dream (Zh¿ngguó mèng ¿¿¿), blending historical symbolism with modern ambition. The state promotes rule of law (f¿zhì ¿¿) as a pillar of governance, even as it centralizes authority. Meanwhile, debates rage over technology's role in surveillance, the environment's place in development, and global influence's limits.This book does not merely recount eras or ideologies. It asks how ideas like 'benevolent rule (rénzhèng ¿¿)' or 'socialist modernization (shèhuìzh¿yì xiàndàihuà ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿)' have been reinterpreted to suit shifting realities. By tracing the threads of thought from oracle bones to AI governance, it reveals a civilization's struggle to reconcile authority with legitimacy-a struggle as urgent today as in Confucius's time.Here, history is not a distant mirror but a living language. The past informs every policy shift, every cultural revival, every assertion of power. To understand China's present is to decode its intellectual lineage: a legacy of adaptation, contradiction, and the relentless pursuit of order.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The story of Chinese political thought is not a linear march but a living dialogue-one that has adapted, clashed, and reinvented itself across millennia. It begins with Confucius (Kongfuzi ), whose 6th-century BCE teachings on virtue and ritual laid the groundwork for a moral vision of governance. Yet even in his era, rivals like Mencius (Mengzi ) and Xunzi (Xunzi ) sparred over human nature, debating whether humanity's innate goodness could sustain order or if strict laws were necessary. These early fractures set the stage for centuries of intellectual ferment.By the time of the Qin dynasty, the Legalists (Fajia ) had turned philosophy into policy, advocating centralized power and harsh penalties to unify a fractious empire. Their legacy lingered, even as Han-era thinkers sought balance, weaving Confucian ethics into statecraft while grappling with Buddhism's rise during the Tang. The Neo-Confucian revival under Zhu Xi (Zhu Xi ) later redefined "harmony (hexie )" as not just social but cosmic, a vision that shaped East Asia for centuries.Then came the upheavals of the modern age.
