Ott also develops far-reaching possibilities of an embodied philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe embodied understanding did not go unchallenged in Ancient China. There were important counter-currents, most notably the Mohists and the so-called Legalists. It has been argued that this challenge set the Chinese philosophical tradition in motion. By using embodiment theory Ott demonstrates how these ideas can be seen as a decontextualizing tendency of thought that plays an important role in human affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55600777429336,"sku":"9781350424173","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350424173.jpg?v=1777988765","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/embodiment-theory-and-chinese-philosophy-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
