Sun Tzu’s book of strategy and psychology has as much to tell us today as when it was written 2,500 years ago. Michael Nylan, in her provocative introduction, sees new and unexpected lessons to be learned from The Art of War—in business, relationships, games of skill, academic careers and medical practices. Strategy, like conflict, is woven into society’s very roots.
Nylan’s crisp translation “offers a masterly new evaluation of this classic work, which balances the overtly military content with a profound and thought-provoking analysis” (Olivia Milburn). It proves that Sun Tzu is more relevant than ever, helping us navigate the conflicts we know and those we have yet to endure.
Michael Nylan is a professor of history at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work includes?The Art of War?and China’s Early Empires with Michael Loewe,?Yang?Xiong?and the Pleasures of Reading and Classical Learning in China, The Five “Confucian” Classics,?Lives of Confucius with Thomas A. Wilson, and several essays on feminism and Confucianism.
