Summary:

The modern imagination of classical Chinese thought has long been dominated by Confucius, Mozi, Mencius, and other "Masters" of the Warring States period. Michael Hunter argues that this approach neglects the far more central role of poetry, and the Shijing (Classic of Poetry) in particular, in the formation of the philosophical tradition.
