Chinese history and philosophy

All cultures have their own notions of time and space. Being one of the fundamental ideas in every society, they in turn influence virtually every aspect of society. This book explains the notions of time and space in China, how culturally concrete and particular to China they are, and how significant the Chinese cultural-ness of these notions is. It contains contributions from 17 scholars of various disciplinary backgrounds who have treated topics within this general perspective in a comprehensive way.
