800 Years of Cultural and Intellectual Encounter
by Kerry Brown (King’s College London, UK) China Through European Eyes provides a reader’s perspective on the conceptualisation of China by Europeans over the last 800 years. With annotated excerpts of their key China related writings by influential figures such as Voltaire, Matteo Ricci, Leibniz, Montesquieu, Marx, Weber, Hegel, Barthes and Kristeva, this collection brings together the visions and ideas of individuals who had a unique impact upon European culture. The views within range wildly as the authors wrestle with what sense to make of China’s cultural and social difference to their lives in the West, conceptualising China as a place of threat, otherness, exoticism, but also inspiration.
