Astral Sciences in Early Imperial China: Observation, Sagehood and the Individual
Morgan, Daniel Patrick (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris)
Responding to monolithic modern narratives about 'Chinese science', Morgan examines the astral sciences in early China as a study in the disunities of Chinese scientific cultures and the narratives by which ancients and moderns alike have fought to instil them with a sense of unity.
