Description
8vo, Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. xviii, 304 p., 23 cm. <br> "For the Greeks, the craft of Odysseus and the wisdom of Athena were examples of metis, an elusive cast of mind that ranged from wisdom and forethought to craft and cunning. Although it informed many aspects of Greek society, metis was all but absent from the language of Greek philosophy. Invoking indigenous Chinese debates, Lisa Raphals here examines the role and significance of metic intelligence in classical Chinese philosophy, literature, history, and military strategy."
