Shrines to Living Men in the Ming Political Cosmos

In the first book focusing on premortem shrines in any era of Chinese history, Sarah Schneewind places the institution at the intersection of politics and religion. This legitimate, institutionalized political voice for commoners expands a scholarly understanding of "public opinion" in late imperial China, and illuminates Ming thought and politics.

In prima carte axata pe sanctuarele premortem din orice epoca a istoriei chineze, Sarah Schneewind plaseaza institutia la intersectia dintre politica si religie. Aceasta voce politica legitima, institutionalizata pentru oamenii de rand extinde o intelegere stiintifica a „opiniei publice” in China imperiala tarzie si lumineaza gandirea si politica Ming.
