Person, materials, and method
Scholarship in context.
Roel Sterckx studies pre-imperial and Qin-Han thought, Classical Chinese, ritual, animals, agriculture, food, natural knowledge, and the relationship between economic and moral value.
His work represents the interdisciplinary direction of contemporary sinology: instead of dividing pre-imperial thought only into Confucian, Daoist, and Legalist schools, it examines how ideas were embedded in diet, sacrifice, resource management, animal classification, and political practice.
