In Ways of Heaven, leading China scholar Roel Sterckx offers an engrossing introduction to classical China's world of ideas. Drawing on evocative examples from philosophical texts, literature, and everyday life over centuries of Chinese history, Sterckx introduces major thinkers and traditions, illuminates key concepts like the dao, qi, yin, and yang, and examines questions of leadership, social order, death, nature, and more. He also reveals how these ideas shape contemporary China, from table manners at a traditional banquet, to the Chinese obsession with education and family, to the rhetoric of political leaders and the nation's grand strategy. Essential reading for students, travelers, businesspeople, and anyone curious about this rising global power, Ways of Heaven shows that to comprehend China today we must learn to think Chinese."--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.0951 St Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0951 St Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0951 St Checked out 06/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0951 St Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0951 St Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
