Plato Goes to China: The Greek Classics and Chinese Nationalism
Plato Goes to China is a thought-provoking exploration of how Chinese intellectuals are interpreting ancient Greek classics in unexpected ways to support their political agenda.
This book offers a unique perspective on contemporary China, revealing how the country's leaders are using the works of Plato, Aristotle, and Thucydides to diagnose the ills of the West and assert the superiority of Confucianism.
Through a lively account that spans from the Jesuits to Xi Jinping, Bartsch traces how the fortunes of Greek classics have changed in China since the 17th century, showing how they are now used to critique democracy, citizenship, and rationality.
This fascinating book opens a surprising new window on China today and is sure to captivate anyone interested in understanding the country's political ideology and cultural heritage.
