À propos de cette écoute
For most of its 5,000-year existence, China has been the largest, most populous, wealthiest, and mightiest nation on Earth. And for us as Westerners, it is essential to understand where China has been in order to anticipate its future. These 36 eye-opening lectures deliver a comprehensive political and historical overview of one of the most fascinating and complex countries in world history.
You'll learn about the powerful dynasties that ruled China for centuries; the philosophical and religious foundations-particularly Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism-that have influenced every iteration of Chinese thought, and the larger-than-life personalities, from both inside and outside its borders, of those who have shaped China's history. As you listen to these lectures, you'll see how China's politics, economics, and art reflect the forces of its past.
From the "Mandate of Heaven," a theory of social contract in place by 1500 B.C.E., 3,000 years before Western philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, to the development of agriculture and writing independent of outside influence to the technologically - advanced Han Dynasty during the time of the Roman Empire, this course takes you on a journey across ground that has been largely unexplored in the history courses most of us in the West have taken.
In guiding you through the five millennia of China's history, Professor Hammond tells a fascinating story with an immense scope, a welcome reminder that China is no stranger to that stage and, indeed, has more often than not been the most extraordinary player on it.

Exciting and easely understandable
I listened with passion to this série of conferences while doing the boring Sunday cleaning. Loved it. I am not a native speaker in English, but had no problems understanding.

not very inspirational
there are not many sources on audible that give more insight into chinese culture and history. this audiobook is just a summary of dates and facts but fails to take you into the story and into the minds of the Chinese people throughout history. Too dry and boring to my taste.

Mediocre. Old guard author
Bizarre praise of an empire that did little to evolve in many centuries and would still have a stagnant view of the world were it not for its rough contacts with more restless nations. And bizarrely largely sympathetic depiction of a sregime that to this day holds its own population under a tight grip. If anything, This book manifests the very own cultural and political exhaustion of the occidental world that produces it. And how does a 21st century mind determine they should bother and describe the endless succession of dynasties and their largely uninteresting leaders and a handful of more or less interesting thinkers to a public composed of industrious and often highly qualified 21st century women and men to introduce "china" to them? Rather than, say, a history of chinese lives, family and community structures, health and entertainment , homes, arts, beliefs, urban environments, industries and techniques, business practices and organizations (with some data sprinkled throughout maybe ?) ? What a mediocre, lazy intellectual world we have, both formidably indulgent and toxic.
