B.C.) mainly concerned with logic and the philosophy of language. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eGongsun Longzi\u003c\/em\u003e is a heterogeneous collection of five chapters that include short treatises and largely fictive dialogues between an anonymous persuader and his opponent, which typically revolve around a paradoxical claim. Its value as a testimony to Early Chinese philosophy, however, is somewhat controversial due to the intricate textual history of the text and our limited knowledge about its intellectual backgrounds. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume gathers contributions by leading specialists in the fields of Classical Chinese philosophy, philology, logic, and linguistics. Besides an overview of the scholarly literature on the topic and a detailed account of the reception of the text throughout time, it presents fresh insights into philological and philosophical problems raised by the \u003cem\u003eGongsun Longzi\u003c\/em\u003e and other closely-related texts equally attributed to the “School of Names”. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rafael Suter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48262255902971,"sku":"9783110585438","price":156.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e5f51cfe-c846-48ae-900d-b8a254fe26fa.jpg?v=1778452399","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-gongsun-longzi-and-other-neglected-texts-9783110585438","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
