Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-09 00:00:00 Joseph Plewa With TAR, Roger T. Ames creates a distinct window into asian thought. Nothing has been victim more than the truth, yet asia held sway to the strongest dynasties well into the modern era creating well documented philosophers and philosophies on culture, living, the laws, the rulers, and the wars. Poems and mythos and more paint a beautiful utopian value pitted against human frailty. Amongst Confucian law and buddhi morality Roger T. Ames presents The Art of Rulership SUNY Press

Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-10 00:00:00 Tonny Oey If you are a serious student of Chinese history and culture, you must own, not just read, this book. Its cross-disciplinary perspective makes it a book you will find yourself returning to on a regular basis as your own knowledge and understanding of Chinese history and culture grows. Passages once oblique or of little interest to you previously, will suddenly become the glue of new associations and insights. Topics include many of the classic myths of Chinese culture, common motifs, and symbols.
