To Become a God: Cosmology, Sacrifice, and Self-Divinization in Early China
ISBN: 9780674016439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Evidence from Shang oracle bones to memorials submitted to Western Han emperors attests to a long-lasting debate in early China over the proper relationship between humans and gods. One pole of the debate saw the human and divine realms as separate and agonistic and encouraged divination to determine the will of the gods and sacrifices to appease and influence them. The opposite pole saw the two realms as related and claimed that humans could achieve divinity and thus control the cosmos. This wide-ranging book reconstructs this debate and places within their contemporary contexts the rival...

The Ambivalence of Creation: Debates Concerning Innovation and Artifice in Early China
ISBN: 9780804736237 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 311 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Was it created by human sages? Is it therefore an artificial fabrication, or was it based in part on natural patterns? Is it possible for new sages to emerge who could create something better? This book studies...

After Wisdom: Sapiential Traditions and Ancient Scholarship in Comparative Perspective
ISBN: 9789004529007 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The nine essays in this volume, written by an international interdisciplinary group of younger scholars, explore comparative dimensions of ancient Chinese and Greek literature. They illuminate the development and interrelations of two modes of thought – mythos and logos, or myth and reason – characteristic of certain ancient cultures, including these two, during the second half of the first millennium BCE. They interrogate the meaning and validity of these concepts and of the category of “wisdom literature,” demonstrating that they must be understood critically and that their...
