The discovery of previously unknown philosophical texts from the Axial Age is revolutionizing our understanding of Chinese intellectual history. Buried Ideas presents and discusses four texts found on brush-written slips of bamboo and their seemingly unprecedented political philosophy. Written in the regional script of Chu during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE), all of the works discuss Yao's abdication to Shun and are related to but differ significantly from the core texts of the classical period, such as the Mencius and Zhuangzi. Notably, these works evince an unusually meritocratic stance, and two even advocate abdication over hereditary succession as a political ideal. Sarah Allan includes full English translations and her own modern-character editions of the four works examined: Tang Yú zhi dao, Zi Gao, Rongchengshi, and Bao xun. In addition, she provides an introduction to Chu-script bamboo-slip manuscripts and the complex issues inherent in deciphering them"--From publisher's website. 650 0 Ideals (Philosophy) |xPolitical aspects |zChina |xHistory |yTo 1500 |vSources. 650 0 Merit (Ethics) |xPolitical aspects |zChina |xHistory |yTo 1500 |vSources. 650 0 Political science |zChina |xHistory |yTo 1500 |vSources. 650 0 Manuscripts, Chinese. 650 0 Chinese language |yTo 600 |vTexts. 651 0 China |xHistory |yWarring States, 403-221 B.C. |vSources. 651 0 China |xPolitics and government |yTo 221 B.C. |vSources. 651 0 China |xKings and rulers |xAbdication |xHistory |vSources. 651 0 China |xIntellectual life |yTo 221 B.C. |vSources. 776 |z1-4384-5777-4 830 0 SUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture. 906 BOOK
