They explain how the Daoist tradition provided a variety of alternatives to prevailing Confucian master narratives, reveal why the long history of Confucianism is itself full of ambiguities, disputes, and competing ideas and discuss how in Buddhist theory and practice, the subversion of unquestioned beliefs and attitudes has been a prime methodological and therapeutic device. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By drawing attention to unorthodox voices and subversion as a method, this exciting collection reveals that for too long the traditional division into \"three teachings\" has failed to do justice to the diversity and subtlety found in the numerous discourses constituting the history of Chinese philosophy. \u003ci\u003eCritique, Subversion and Chinese Philosophy \u003c\/i\u003efinally makes such innovative disruptions visible.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHans-Georg Moeller \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Philosophy at the University of Macau, China.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Andrew K.
