An Essay on Hasheesh 1925

In this extraordinary book, the author has penned for the reader whose interests lead him into the curious by-paths of life a most energetic picture of hasheesh, "the winning rival of opium as a producer of visions of paradise." In turning these pages, the odor of the hemp fields again teases our nostrils, but we can never recapture the mood in which the manuscript was written. It is therefore given to the reader in its original form, as an expression of a lost rhapsodic period of our existence.

Reflections on Plato's Poetics

Essays from Beijing

Reflections on Plato's Poetics presents the reflections of leading scholars from China and the West on the form, nature and significance of Plato's engagement with poetry. The book does not adopt any monolithic point of view about Plato and poetry. Instead it openly explores Plato's attitudes to poetry, both comprehensively and within the intricate confines of particular dialogues. These reflections reveal a Plato who is deeply influenced by poetry; a Plato who writes, at least very often, from within a poetic paradigm; a Plato whose concerns about the influence and ambiguity of words force him to play with meaning and to provoke questions about meaning. Thus, many of the contributions reveal a concern about the relation of philosophy to poetry, how the two categories are different and whether (or in what way) one is superior to the other.A unique feature of Reflections on Plato's Poetics is the establishment of a dialogue between Chinese and Western scholars, whose different background assumptions about philosophy, poetry and Plato lead, we hope, to further reflections of genuinely novel and significant interest.
