《Intellectual Foundations of China》

Frederick W. Mote, professor emeritus of East Asian Studies at Princeton University. Regarded even among leading scholars in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and China as one of the twentieth century’s preeminent students of traditional Chinese civilization, Professor Mote wrote, edited, and translated numerous books, scholarly articles, and essays on subjects ranging from classical Chinese philosophy to military history and from the study of great cities such as Suzhou and Nanjing to the ways in which poetry, painting, and other arts could be used to gain a fuller understanding of Chinese economic, social, and cultural history.
