Scholarship on early Chinese thought has long tended to treat texts as mere repositories of ideas rather than as meaningful objects in their own right. Not only does this approach present an idealised account of China's intellectual past, but it also imposes artificial boundaries between textual and philosophical traditions. As the first study to treat text as a cultural phenomenon during the Warring States period, this book demonstrates the interplay among the material conditions of text and manuscript culture, writing, and thought. Through close readings of philosophical texts excavated at...

Literary Forms of Argument in Early China explores formal approaches to the study of philosophical texts to present new methods for the analysis of pre-modern thought in China. Attempts made by Chinese thinkers to generate literary forms of philosophical reasoning have gone unrecognised within scholarship in China and the West. Drawing together the expertise of leading scholars of early Chinese textuality, this volume addresses this omission by examining the formal characteristics of an argument, the interrelationship between form and content, as well as patterned compositions and...

Die europäischen Integrationsanstrengungen stehen auf der Kippe. Dabei wirkt die Euro-Währungsunion in ihrer jetzigen Verfassung ungewollt eher als ein Des-Integrationsfaktor denn als ein verbindendes Element. Dirk Meyer liefert Zustandsbeschreibungen, Analysen, Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge, die in der Tagespolitik entweder gar nicht zum Tragen kamen oder aber schnell vergessen wurden. Konzepte einer möglichen Umstrukturierung der Währung hin zu einer funktionsfähigen Gemeinschaftswährung bilden einen konstruktiv-zuversichtlich stimmenden Ausblick.

European integration efforts are on the brink of collapse. In its current state, the European Monetary Union is unintentionally acting more as a dis-integration factor than as a unifying element. Dirk Meyer provides descriptions, analyses and background information on the current crisis. The book is the result of more than ten years of work on the subject.

The European Monetary Union based on the Maastricht Treaty doesn’t exist any longer. Permanent rescue parachutes, joint liability and legal presumptions by the EU Commission lead to a fiscal union with a redistributive character. Bond-purchasingprogrammes endanger the independence of the ECB. As an alternative, Dirk Meyer develops a parallel currency concept for a functioning common currency.
