The Objectionable Li Zhi
Fiction, Criticism, and Dissent in Late Ming China
In this volume, leading China scholars demonstrate the interrelatedness of seemingly discrete aspects of Li Zhi's thought and emphasize his far-reaching impact on his contemporaries and successors. In doing so, they challenge the myth that there was no tradition of dissidence in premodern China.
The open access publication of this book was made possible by a grant from the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation.
About the Authors
Reviews
"[A] fascinating, multidisciplinary study of Li Zhi, a controversial, complex figure... a remarkable work"—Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews
"[O]ffers a worthy companion to the editors' earlier volume of selected translations of Li Zhi's writings."—Journal of Chinese Studies
"[A] mature contribution both to Li Zhi and late-Ming scholarship. Features of his life and writings are examined by knowledgeable Ming scholars who are able skillfully to shed light on him from the perspective of a body of scholarship for which each is known."—Journal of Chinese History
"The diverse and multifaceted scholarship presented in this volume not only mirrors Li Zhi's intellectual versatility, it also documents the wide margin that the discrepancies and inconsistencies in his thinking and writing leave for interpretation. Even though Li Zhi seemed "objectionable" to many of his contemporaries and some of those that came after him, this book convincingly demonstrates the value and perpetual significance of his thought. To all students of Li Zhi's life and thought and of late Ming intellectual history in general I do recommend this volume unreservedly."—Monumenta Serica
Endorsements
"Presents both a richly nuanced portrait of an extremely interesting man and an in-depth discussion of a fascinating time, using different disciplinary methods and sources. The scope of the work is in fact broader than this one man—we learn a lot about the Ming world."—Ann Waltner, University of Minnesota
