Book excerpt: "The relation of Sung philosopher Li Kou to the reformer Wang An-shih and the problem of the relation between the two as men and as thinkers has long fascinated Sung specialists and students of philosophy. Hsieh has organized his work shrewdly, first dealing with age in which Li Kou lived and the philosophers life before embarking on his systematic and painstaking analysis of the writings, of the eclecticism that marks Li's thinking, Li's place in the refinement of traditional Confucianist political thought, Li's social criticism, and Li's relation to Wang An-shih."--Book jacket.
