Astral Sciences in Early Imperial China

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Responding to monolithic modern narratives about 'Chinese science', Morgan examines the astral sciences in early China as a study in the disunities of Chinese scientific cultures and the narratives by which ancients and moderns alike have fought to instil them with a sense of unity.
