Produktbeschreibung
Formed through the intense curiosity of a cultural explorer, this study looks deep into the historical and philosophical origins of Chinese civilization to find the keys to a realistic understanding of China as part of today's globalized world.

Thus apprehended, conventional East/West dichotomies are transcended and a unified understanding becomes more possible.
