It provides a holistic approach to the philosophical and religious traits of this movement via the concepts of non-being, being, and oneness. Thinkers and texts on the periphery of \u003ci\u003eXuanxue\u003c\/i\u003e are also examined to show readers that \u003ci\u003eXuanxue\u003c\/i\u003e did not arise in a vacuum but is the result of a long and continuous evolution of ideas from pre-Qin Daoism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 25 chapters of this work survey the major philosophical figures and arguments of \u003ci\u003eXuanxue\u003c\/i\u003e, a movement from the Wei-Jin dynastic period (220-420 CE) of early-medieval China. It also examines texts and figures from the late-Han dynasty whose influence on \u003ci\u003eXuanxue\u003c\/i\u003e has yet to be made explicitly clear. In order to fully capture the multifaceted nature of this movement, the contributors brilliantly highlight its more socially-oriented characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOverall, this volume presents an unrivaled picture of this exciting period. It details a portrait of intellectual and cultural vitality that rivals, if not surpasses, what was achieved during the Warring States period.
