讲座 简介
Over the course of the fourth through first centuries BCE in China, a complex set of debates developed over the ways to read earlier texts and the types of hermeneutic strategies that should be employed in interpreting them. Out of these debates emerged many of the commentarial approaches that would continue to be appropriated and utilized thereafter in the Chinese tradition. My goal in this paper will be to trace some of the complexities of these interpretive strategies and to discuss their larger significance.
