I have a pretty good handle on the history of Western philosophy, at least for someone who never formally studied it, but I know next to nothing about Eastern philosophy, which makes me feel like I have no context or useful background when I'm reading Mao. I feel like it would be helpful to at least have a primer on the key thinkers in the history of Chinese philosophy so I could have some understanding of what Mao was reacting to and what ideas would have been influential in his audience before he began writing. Does such a book exist in English?
