Challenging this presupposition head-on, Joshua R. Brown and Alexus McLeod argue that non-naturalism and transcendence have a robust and significant place in early Chinese thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reveals that non-naturalist positions can be found in early Chinese texts, in topics including conceptions of the divine, cosmogony, and apophatic philosophy. Moreover, by closely examining a range of early Chinese texts, and providing comparative readings of a number of Western texts and thinkers, the book offers a way of reading early Chinese Philosophy as consistent with the religious philosophy of the East and West, including the Abrahamic and the Brahmanistic religions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCo-written by a philosopher and theologian, this book draws out unique insights into early Chinese thought, highlighting in particular new ways to consider a range of Chinese concepts, including \u003ci\u003etian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003edao\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eli\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eyou\/wu. \u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45085488513175,"sku":"9781350082533","price":13964.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350082533.webp?v=1767898565","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/non-naturalism-and-transcendence-in-early-chinese-thought-9781350082533","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
