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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47593321791639,"sku":"9781350424173","price":3710.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350424173.webp?v=1774981437","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/embodiment-theory-and-chinese-philosophy-contextualization-and-decontextualization-of-thought-9781350424173","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
