| book description |

In Dialectics of Spontaneity, Zhiyi Yang examines Su Shiâ€™s poetry on art and connoisseurship, his emulation of Tao Qian in exile poetry, and his inner alchemical practice. She argues that the concept of absolute spontaneity is defined negatively, and artistic and ethical spontaneity which can be actualized must be provisional and conditioned. This book argues that Su Shiâ€™s lyrical persona of a 'spontaneous genius' is a construction that serves various rhetorical and existential purposes. Making use of Suâ€™s prolific works and referring to a broad scope of Western philosophy, this book not only enriches the literature on Su Shi, but further attempts to engages Chinese literature in a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary dialogue.
