Embodiment Theory and Chinese Philosophy : Contextualization and Decontextualization of Thought, Hardback Book

Embodiment Theory and Chinese Philosophy : Contextualization and Decontextualization of Thought Hardback

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

This book analyses some of the seminal texts of the Chinese tradition in light of the embodied tradition: the Analects of Confucius, the Zhuangzi, and the Treatise on Music.

Margus Ott's study shows how they exemplify aspects of embodiment theory while highlighting others that have been neglected in contemporary work.

Ott also develops far-reaching possibilities of an embodied philosophy. The embodied understanding did not go unchallenged in Ancient China.

There were important counter-currents, most notably the Mohists and the so-called Legalists.

It has been argued that this challenge set the Chinese philosophical tradition in motion.

By using embodiment theory Ott demonstrates how these ideas can be seen as a decontextualizing tendency of thought that plays an important role in human affairs.
