Hundred Schools of Thought (770 BC - 221 BC)

The rise of the Golden Age of Chinese Philosophy came during a turbulent period in the history China. It began in what is known as the Spring and Autumn period and extended through the Warring States period. Most of the well-known Chinese philosophies come from this epoch. And as an interesting side note, it corresponds roughly to the same period in Classical Greek Philosophy. Over the next few entries I will be investigating the rise of this period in the philosophies of the East, looking into Confucius, Han Feizi, Laozi, and other notable figures from that era.
