Reviews

In explicating the unfolding notions of spirit and cosmos in ancient China, Puett engages extensively with the greatest authorities in the field...To this ambitious tour de force through the world of thought in ancient China, Puett adds the comparative perspective of anthropologists such as Claude Levi-Strauss and Marshall Sahlins, and such diverse others as Mircea Eliade and Max Weber. Puett thus puts China solidly in a global comparative context.
