About the Book

Via a hermeneutics focused on Chinese numerology and concentric arrangements, this book offers a novel construal of the textual universe proper to early China writings. The author lays bare distinguishable patterns of textual composition while relating them to corresponding patterns of thinking. He differentiates rhetorical variants through detailed studies of the Zhuangzi’s Inner chapters, the Laozi, the Analects, and the Huainanzi. The philosophical depth and relevance of the Chinese ancient worldview appear in a fresh light when one unearths the patterns into which its content is embedded. The focus on textual patterns and rhetorical arrangements also facilitates the reading of Chinese classics alongside other traditions. The book will be a valuable reference for scholars and graduate students studying Chinese literary criticism, Chinese philosophy, and comparative philosophy.

Table of Contents:
1: Shaping and Numbering 2: Orbiting the Huainanzi 3: The Zhuangzi’s Inner Chapters: Thinking within and outside Circles 4: Confucius and the Hen-Pheasant 5: The Laozi as a Topological Space

Review :
“As a fine connoisseur of China’s scriptural and spiritual traditions, Benoît Vermander possesses the magic art of making them come alive aurally through their rhythms and visually in their ‘textual patterns and cosmic designs’ – read it to believe it !” Anne Cheng, Chair of Chinese intellectual history, Collège de France, Paris “Few people can match Benoit Vermander’s understanding of Chinese culture, especially its literary and philosophical dimensions. In this book he once again illustrates that he can be confidently relied on to propose innovative approaches to whatever subject he touches on.” John Lagerwey. Emeritus Professor at Hong Kong Chinese University and EPHE (Ecole Pratique des Hautes etudes, Paris). Director of Paris Ricci Institute.
