Law and Morality in Ancient China : The Silk Manuscripts of Huang-Lao [Buy it!] | Peerenboom, R. P. | USD 49.60 (Wed May 29 21:51:14 2024) | AbebooksFR | Theologia Books | ISBN10: 0791412377, ISBN13: 9780791412374, [publisher: State University of New York Press, Albany] Hardcover As new, still in publisher's protective wrapping. 380pp. Huang-Lao thought, a unique and sophisticated political philosophy which combines elements of Daoism and Legalism, dominated the intellectual life of late Warring States and Early Han China, providing the ideological foundation for post-Qin reforms. In the absence of extant texts, however, scholars of classical Chinese philosophy remained in the dark about this important school for over 2000 years. Finally, in 1973, archaeologists unearthed four ancient silk scrolls: the Silk Manuscripts of Huang-Lao. This work is the first detailed, book-length treatment in English of these lost treasures.
