This book explores linguistic representations and cultural conceptualizations of the relationship between time and space in ancient China, as expressed by the YiChing. The YiChing, an ancient Chinese divination manual based on hexagrams, is one of the oldest of the Chinese classics and a foundational text for the Confucian and Daoist philosophical traditions. Its hexagrams represent the internal logic of the world or universe as a dynamic whole, alternating the processes of events based on the conceptual unity of space and time and their quantification. This book is the first in-depth examination of time and space and their quantification in the YiChing from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. Through detailed analysis of motion and life metaphors, it argues that space and time, which in turn shapes how quantification is expressed, is a unified concept in China. Offering distinctive Chinese perspectives, this insightful study deals with unsolved issues from experimental research in cognitive and psychological science to further expand the existing linguistic and cultural research field. The book compares the Chinese conceptualization of the unity of space and time with an asymmetric conceptualization of space and time in the West, making an original contribution to the study of space, time and number in language and cognition, and to the understanding of the history of Chinese thought.

The Routledge Companion to Chinese Philosophy features more than 40 chapter-length introductions to the concepts, claims, and arguments that animate the Chinese philosophical tradition. Taking a topic-by-topic rather than text-by-text approach, this Companion aims at helping contemporary Anglophone readers access the philosophical riches of the Chinese tradition by balancing close analysis with broad contextualization.The book is divided into four "Acts" that reflect system-level changes in how the Chinese philosophical conversation has been conducted: Act I draws primarily on pre-imperial texts, foregrounding competition among persuaders in the absence of a geographical or canonical center of gravity.Act II focuses on the early imperial centralization of intellectual culture around the corpus of Confucian classics.Act III restructures the conversation space according to the radically innovative priorities of Buddhism.Act IV focuses on Neo-Confucianism, which combines some of the priorities of Act II with the ongoing legacy of Act III.Within each Act, contributors focus on topics like religious and political thought, ethics and self-cultivation, philosophical anthropology and theory of agency, language, epistemology, metaphysics, hermeneutics, and debate. This volume is essential reading for students, academics, and philosophers with an interest in Chinese philosophy.

Boys-Stones, George (ed.), Apuleius on the Cosmos. 272 pp. 2026:1 (Oxford U. Pr., UK) <750-19>

Apuleius' De Mundo ('On the Cosmos') has never been published in English translation. One reason for this may be that it has itself been viewed as a mere translation of a work that survives in the Aristotelian corpus, the Peri Kosmou (traditionally, but confusingly in this context, referred to as the De Mundo). But greater sensitivity both to the ideological implications of 'translation' (no translation is ever a 'mere' translation) and to the nuanced philosophical debates of the second century CE ought already to suggest that the work will have a lot to teach us-and all the more just because we have the Greek text it is working with. This volume offers the first English translation of the De Mundo, which it presents in parallel with a new English translation of the Aristotelian Peri Kosmou by the same team, so that even readers without Latin or Greek can get a keen sense of how the two works relate-and how substantially they diverge. It is accompanied by a series of ten new scholarly studies introducing the work and setting out a broad range of approaches to its study. Together they make a powerful case that the De Mundo is deeply informed by Apuleius' Platonism, especially a view of providence which differs substantially from that of the Peri Kosmou, and that it is an important text for understanding philosophical debate in the second century CE.

Dilbeck, Thomas W., Vergil and the Trinity: Appropriation, Revision, and Distortion of Rome's Greatest Poet. 188 pp. 2025:9 (Routledge, UK) <750-20>
ISBN 978-1-032-96874-2 hard ¥41,470.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This volume reveals how some Christian authors used the poetry of Vergil to explain important aspects of the three persons of the trinity, shedding new light on the attitudes of early Christians towards non-Christian texts.Readers gain insight into how Christians employed the work of Rome's most famous poet in discussions about the trinity, which one might assume were only limited to the use of canonical scripture. The book explores why these authors relied upon Vergil in particular and which portions of his corpus interested them, before analysing several examples in order to accurately contextualise how Vergil's work was cited and employed by the Latin Fathers in their own work. These Christian authors writing in Latin used Vergil for more substantive reasons than rhetorical ornamentation, and Dilbeck argues that they formed a textual community which included his works.Written in accessible prose, Vergil and the Trinity is of interest to not only to those working in the field of patristics, but also to classical scholars, biblical scholars, readers interested in the history of biblical interpretation, and in the history of philosophy.

Anschaulich und kurzweilig erzaehlt Jula Wildberger die Erfolgsgeschichte der Stoa, die vor 2400 Jahren begann und bis heute unser Denken und Handeln praegt.
