Philosophy Compass, 10, 355–368.
Examines numerous Han Dynasty philosophers such as; Wang Su, Wang Fu, Wang Chong, and Xu Gang. Additionally, McLeod investigates major Han Dynasty ideologies, ranging from the Eastern to Western portions of the Dynasty. An analysis of the origins of the ideology is presented also, rumoring the derivatization of the ideology to be Western Han and eventually move onto the later Wei-Jin era (317-420 CE).

Discusses the notion of “outward appearance” and how more people are starting to recognize the importance of this phenomenon. Faces serve as a form of identification, and with that notion it is likely safe to assume that in the Han Dynasty, it was the same. Therefore, Ladislav presents how faces themselves serve as an artifact, yet societies are still obsessed with faceless figures with no sense of identity.
