Van Nordens Introduction to Classical Chinese Philosophy is evidently of increasing importance in balancing our 21st century view of philosophy in general. It is to Van Nordens regret, that when philosophy is discussed or taught, it is almost always in the context of Western Philosophy rather than a global perspective. Yet the contribution of China to global thought and understanding is crucial, especially in our contemporary context. In his highly accessible Introduction, Van Norden gives an overview of the subject, from its mythical origins through its early history, and on to the most important time, the Eastern Zhou dynasty (770-221 BCE). This is The Period of the Philosophers. It is here we find the greatest thinkers, within two definable periods, the Spring and Autumn Period (722-481 BCE) and the Warring States Period (403-221 BCE). Into the Spring and Autumn Period comes Kongzi better known in the West as Confucius (551-479 BCE), whose Analects have become more or less synonymous with the Western understanding of Classical Chinese Philosophy. Van Norden considers the life, work and ideas of Kongzi, and his subsequent influence (even in the present day throughout Asia), with the Five Themes of Confucianism including Happiness in the Everyday World, The Family and Differentiated Caring and Ethical Cultivation. But as he points out, Kongzi had his critics even in the generations that immediately followed him principally Mozi and the Mohists. However, Kongzis influence also continued through the Warring States Period, when other figures emerging such as Mengzi (known as Mencius in the West) (372-289 BCE). In this fascinating survey, Van Nordens discussion ranges over Daodejing and Mysticism, Zhuangzis Therapeutic Skepticism and Relativism, Han Feizis Theory of Government, and later Chinese thought, stepping well into the 20th century with Mao Zedung. In the Appendices, Van Norden also explains Hermeneutics or How to Read a Text, and Kongzi as Systematic Philosopher. A third (particularly valuable Appendix to the newcomer to Chinese topics), on The Chinese Language and Writing System is not possible to present on audiobook, but is contained in the accompanying PDF. Altogether, Van Norden has provided a thoughtful introduction not only to Classical Chinese Philosophy, but also in passing, to aspects of Chinese culture. The experienced American reader Brian Nishii, fluent in Mandarin, is an ideal presenter. Van Norden is also the author of Mengzi which he reads himself on Ukemi Audiobooks.
