Concepts and history : John Dunn's lectures in China

This book brings together three recent talks given by John Dunn in China: two full lectures, and one shorter talk followed by the transcription of an extended Q&A session with some eminent Chinese political philosophers and historians of political thought.

These three chapters are followed by an intellectual-biographical interview with Dunn.

Each of the chapters bears some relevance to Chinese political thought or at least pursues a general 'East meets West' theme.

The chapters can be read in any order, although they present some common themes.
