The Oxford Handbook of Chinese Philosophy collects new essays on important texts and figures in the history of Chinese thought. The essays cover both well-known texts such as the
Analects and the
Zhuangzi as well as many of the lesser-known thinkers in the classical and post-classical Chinese tradition. Most of the chapters focus on thinkers or texts in one of three important historical movements: Classical ("pre-Qin") Chinese philosophy, Chinese Buddhism, and the Confucian response to Buddhism ("neo-Confucianism" broadly construed). Each essay presents cutting-edge work on important topics in the Chinese tradition and yet is written for a general philosophical audience.
