Heaven and Earth Are Not Humane: The Problem of Evil in Classical Chinese Philosophy
Indiana University Press (2014)
Abstract
That bad things happen to good people was as true in early China as it is today. Franklin Perkins uses this observation as the thread by which to trace the effort by Chinese thinkers of the Warring States Period, a time of great conflict and division, to seek reconciliation between humankind and the world. Perkins provides rich new readings of classical Chinese texts and reflects on their significance for Western philosophical discourseAuthor's Profile
