Ott also develops far-reaching possibilities of an embodied philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe embodied understanding did not go unchallenged in Ancient China. There were important counter-currents, most notably the Mohists and the so-called Legalists. It has been argued that this challenge set the Chinese philosophical tradition in motion. By using embodiment theory Ott demonstrates how these ideas can be seen as a decontextualizing tendency of thought that plays an important role in human affairs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margus Ott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350424145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350424142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Margus Ott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46384019833087,"sku":"9781350424142","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caec4098-1d0c-433e-860c-88f741776099.jpg?v=1733282432","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/embodiment-theory-and-chinese-philosophy-margus-ott-9781350424142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
