Shek, Richard - Liu: Heterodoxy Late Imperial China

Honolulu : University of Hawaii Press, 2004. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 544pp.Condition : as new. Cultural and intellectual protests, while rare, were recurrent in Chinese society. This impressive and comprehensive work traces the origins of dissent to elements of Daoism and Buddhism in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties and expands on their significance in modern times. Daoists and Buddhists were often conservative, coexisting in a society distinguished by entrenched institutions--monarchical, bureaucratic, and familial. Yet dissenting ideas and movements did arise, and society was not so rigid as to preclude the critical impulse. Countervalues found expression in elite philosophical thought and, less articulately, in popular religious movements.text. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new.
