Reviews

...a fascinating compendium of insights and anecdotes into the challenges of translating early China. ... a much-needed contribution to a vital task that Anglophone philosophy is only just beginning to confront systematically-bringing more work by Chinese thinkers to an English language audience. The theoretical and practical difficulties inherent in such a challenge deserve wider debate, and this volume commendably serves that end. - Dao
