Reviews

This compilation of 13 scholarly papers published between 1991 and 2018 is a timely reminder of Roth's significant contribution to our methods of reading ancient Chinese philosophy and defining the origins of Daoist thought and practice...the book's value lies in the knowledge it conveys on intriguing and hard-to-read ancient philosophical texts. - Religious Studies Review
