State, Society and Governance in Republican China
This book offers research on state and society in Republican China, exploring various aspects of Republican history from the governance perspective. Governance is understood in a broader sense as interactions between state and society, including both the discursive process of social decision-making and the provision of (non-)material public goods. The topics highlighted are: the internationalization of disaster relief, the philanthropic governance of overseas Chinese in Xiamen, the transformation of the cultural group "World Society," historical writing, intellectual autonomy, as well as the construction of warlord identity.

The Emergence of Word-Meaning in Early China
The Emergence of Word-Meaning in Early China makes an innovative contribution to studies of language by historicizing the Chinese notion that words have "meaning" (content independent of instances of use). Rather than presuming that the concept of word-meaning had always existed, Jane Geaney explains how and why it arose in China. To account for why a normative term (yi, "duty, morality, appropriateness") came to be used for "meanings" found in dictionaries, Geaney examines interrelated patterns of word usage threading through and across a wide range of genres. These patterns show that by the first millennium, as textual production exploded—and as radically different writing forms (in Budd...

The Gongsun Longzi and Other Neglected Texts
The Gongsun Longzi is often considered the only extant work of the Classical Chinese “School of Names”, an early intellectual tradition (trad. dated to the 4th cent. B.C.) mainly concerned with logic and the philosophy of language. The Gongsun Longzi 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. This 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 Gongsun Longzi and other closely-related texts equally attributed to the “School of Names”.
Die Kategorie des Räumlichen in Erkenntnistheorie und Ästhetik im China des 17. Jahrhunderts
Die Frage, was Raum sei, gehört zu den grundlegenden ontologischen und erkenntnistheoretischen Fragen, die unter je konkreten historischen Bedingungen unterschiedliche Ausprägungen und Verständnismodelle hat. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Raumproblematik auf der Grundlage von chinesischen philosophischen und kunsttheoretischen Texten der Übergangsepoche von der Ming- zur Qing-Dynastie. Ausgehend von den Reflexionen der Gelehrten über Kognition, Wirklichkeit und Tradition werden die kulturellen Bedingtheiten und erkenntnistheoretischen Voraussetzungen von Raumauffassungen in der untersuchten Zeit systematisch rekonstruiert. Diese Rekonstruktionen erlauben, die in einer Vielzahl v...
