Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-02 00:00:00 Love Davis I don't like politics a lot. I'm not a historian. So this book just gave me a few insights on how philosophy, culture, and religion define the way society evolves. A few truly eye-opening insights on why entirely knowledge and labor driven Chinese society lost the technological competition by the 20th century.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-09 00:00:00 Jason Jackson Both silly and important. Wrong about the extent of commerce and industry in 2nd millennium China, wrong about the homogeneity and pervasiveness of the a) literati ideal, or b) the "traditionality" of kinship systems. But right to think about religion as part of a larger political and socioeconomic system, right to imagine certain forms of religiosity inhering to certain class or status groups, and also right to see the ideals of the literate people as important or effectual in the civilizational project. Both a collection of Sinological tropes and a copy of Protestant Ethic intaglio.
