Mind and Psychology in Early China (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2026
ISBN 10: 1009298321 ISBN 13: 9781009298322
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This Element describes early Chinese views of the heart-mind (xin ) and its relation to the psychology of a whole person, including the body, affective and cognitive faculties, and the spirit (shen ). It argues for a divergence in Warring States thought between 'mind-centered' and 'spirit-centered' approaches to self-cultivation. It surveys the Analects, Mengzi, Guanzi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, Huainanzi, the Huangdi neijing, and excavated medical manuscripts from Mawangdui, as well as a brief comparative perspective to ancient Greek views of these topics. It argues for a contrast between post-Cartesian dualism and Chinese and Greek psycho-physicalism.

Explores the historical and philosophical shifts in the depiction of women and virtue in the early centuries of the Chinese state.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. xv 273 pages, index, bibliography. The pages are lightly tanned, else as new. A title in the series 'Myths and Poetics' "For the Greeks, the craft of Odysseus and the wisdom of Athena were examples of metis, an elusive cast of mind that ranged from wisdom and forethought to craft and cunning. Although it informed many aspects of Greek society, metis was all but absent from the language of Greek philosophy. Invoking indigenous Chinese debates, Lisa Raphals here examines the role and significance of metic intelligence in classical Chinese philosophy, literature, history, and military strategy. Raphals first examines the range of meanings of the Chinese word zhi. As with the Greek metis, the uses of zhi include "wisdom," "knowledge," "intelligence," "skill," "cleverness," and "cunning." Drawing on parallels between the two traditions, she argues that, in China as in Greece, metic intelligence tacitly informed many aspects of cultural and social life. In China, these included views of the nature of knowledge and language, standards of personal and social morality, and theories of military strategy and statecraft. After surveying representative texts from the Warring States period, Raphals considers the function of metic intelligence as the dominant quality of central characters in two novels from the Ming dynasty, the Romance of Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West. Finally, she compares the treatment of themes of heroism and recognition in the Chinese and Greek narrative traditions. Knowing Words will be welcomed by sinologists, classicists, and scholars of comparative philosophy and literature.' (publisher).
