Abstract:
This is a powerful account of how the ruin and resurrection of Zhuangzi in modern China's literary history correspond to the rise and fall of modern Chinese individuality. The book highlights two central philosophical themes of Zhuangzi: the absolute spiritual freedom and the rejection of absolute and fixed views on right and wrong. It argues that the twentieth-century reinterpretation and appropriation of these two important philosophical themes best testify to the dilemma and inner struggle of modern Chinese intellectuals

Abstract:
先に『三角縁神獣鏡と東アジア世界』の著書を公刊したところ、いくつかの根本的批判を頂いた。その一つは、日本考古学の立場から、私の著書では京都府木津川市の椿井大塚山古墳までにしか言及しておらず、 その後の重要な発掘事例たる奈良県天理市柳本古墳群中にある黒塚古墳に触れていないこと、同古墳は椿井 大塚山古墳と同じく三〇数面の舶載鏡を出土したこと、しかも邪馬台国畿内説の考古事例として有名な桜井 市の箸墓古墳や纏向遺跡などに近いことが重要とされる。次の批判は明言されてはいないが、中国鏡研究の事例が蒐集事例のみで、考古事例は部分的指摘に止まっている点である。これは分かり易く言えば、中国考古学学術誌である『考古』『文物』のデータベースの作成が要請されるということである。
本書の狙いは前著の補充ではあるが、単なる付け加えではない。考古事例や鏡鑑資料の物による検討は個例が増加しただけ新事実が付加されるのは当然である。そこにいかなる新発見があるか、甚だ興味深いものがある。ただ、ここで特記しておきたいのは前著の段階でもすでに先行研究として存在し、その問題提起は決して無視できない価値を有する中国社会科学院考古研究所王仲殊氏の所説について、前著では敢えて検討しなかった。それを本書の第一章として取り上げて、その研究の重要な成果と逆に研究史上看過できない問題点や疑問点を整理し、その批判点の論点を具体的に述べ、本書の考察の前提を確立したいと考えた。さらに王仲殊氏の研究を三角縁神獣鏡問題の新領域として位置付け、その十全な検討を目指すことを本書の課題とした。これが本書を『三角縁神獣鏡と東アジア世界 続』と名付けた所以である。

Abstract:
This monograph uses the latest archaeological results from Mongolia and the surrounding areas of Inner Asia to propose a novel understanding of nomadic statehood, political economy, and the nature of interaction with ancient China. In contrast to the common view of the Eurasian steppe as a dependent periphery of Old World centers, this work views Inner Asia as a locus of enormous influence on neighboring civilizations, primarily through the development and transmission of diverse organizational models, technologies, and socio-political traditions. This work explores the spatial management of political relationships within the pastoral nomadic setting during the first millennium BCE and argues that a culture of mobility, horse-based transport, and long-distance networking promoted a unique variant of statehood. Although states of the eastern steppe were geographically large and hierarchical, these polities also relied on techniques of distributed authority, multiple centers, flexible structures, and ceremonialism to accommodate a largely mobile and dispersed populace. This expertise in “spatial politics” set the stage early on for the expansionistic success of later Asian empires under the Mongols and Manchus.
Inner Asia and the Spatial Politics of Empire brings a distinctly anthropological treatment to the prehistory of Mongolia and is the first major work to explore key issues in the archaeology of eastern Eurasia using a comparative framework. The monograph adds significantly to anthropological theory on interaction between states and outlying regions, the emergence of secondary complexity, and the growth of imperial traditions. Based on this approach, the window of Inner Asian prehistory offers a novel opportunity to investigate the varied ways that complex societies grow and the processes articulating adjacent societies in networks of mutual transformation.

Abstract:
This book investigates Chinese comprehension and treatment of the relationship between language and reality. The work examines ancient Chinese philosophy through the pair of concepts known as ming 名-shi 實.
By analyzing the pre-Qin thinkers’ discourse on ming and shi, the work explores how Chinese philosophers dealt with issues not only in language but also in ontology, epistemology, ethics, axiology, and logic. Through this discourse analysis, readers are invited to rethink the relationship of language to thought and behavior. The author criticizes and corrects vital misunderstandings of Chinese culture and highlights the anti-dualism and pragmatic character of Chinese thoughts. The rich meaning of the ming-shi pair is displayed by revealing its connection to other philosophical issues. The chapters show how discourse on language and reality shapes a central characteristic of Chinese culture, the practical zhi. They illuminate the interplay of Chinese theories of language and Dao as Chinese wisdom and worldview.
Readers who are familiar with pragmatics and postmodernism will recognize the common points in ancient Chinese philosophy and contemporary Western philosophy, as they emerge through these chapters. The work will particularly appeal to scholars of philosophy, philosophy of language, communication studies and linguistics.

Abstract:
The Spring and Autumn Annals of Master Yan is a biography of the most important statesmen and political thinkers of the Eastern Zhou dynasty China: Yan Ying (d. 500 BCE). Living through an exceptionally troubled period, he served three rulers and two dictators of the state of Qi, in Shandong Province. His experiences informed his revolutionary theories concerning the relationship between the individual and the state. Long considered to be a forgery, recent archaeological discoveries have proved the Spring and Autumn Annals of Master Yan to be a genuinely ancient text. This book provides not only the first complete translation of the text into any Western language, but a detailed analysis of the context in which it was produced.
