A valuable source of information on third-century Chinese argumentation
and thought, the essays are eloquent, clear, and to the point; humorous
at times; philosophically subtle; and psychologically perceptive. They
treat matters of perennial concern--immortality, the nature of morality,
the relation of music to emotion--and should be of interest to
specialist and nonspecialist alike.
Originally published in 1983.
