About The Book

This book offers a radical reinterpretation of the formative stages of Chinese culture and history tracing the central role played by cosmology in the formation of China''s early empires. It crosses the disciplines of history social anthropology archaeology and philosophy to illustrate how cosmological systems particularly the Five Elements shaped political culture. By focusing on dynamic change in early cosmology the book undermines the notion that Chinese cosmology was homogenous and unchanging. By arguing that cosmology was intrinsic to power relations it also challenges prevailing theories of political and intellectual history.
