Like New. Size: 9x6x1; Softcover. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. "A thesis that will scandalize cultural purists: the 'Confucius' we love, honor and emulate springs from the intercultural trafficking of seventeenth-century Jesuit missionaries. Jensen argues his case on many planes, with nuance and bedrock affection for both China and sinology."-Haun Saussy, Stanford University.
