Abstract

Reviews major features of the tradition and also to enable that tradition to be subjected to criticism and enter into dialogue. Cua brings an analytical approach to both Xunzi and the other issues in Chinese thought covered in this collection. While his approach might not be to everyone's taste and the book might be daunting to readers who do not already possess some degree of familiarity both with the texts and with the issues to which Cua is contributing, still his scholarship and attention to detail are striking. The various essays tend not to be organized with the intent to establish and defend a single position--no thematic unity is found in the collection; but the drawing together of more of Cua's works on Xunzi makes this book an important resource, and the assorted essays in the second section all address issues relevant to contemporary work on Chinese thought. For this reason, the achievements contained in this volume prove difficult to summarize; one can only invite readers to grapple with the detailed positions developed in each essay.
