Reviews
"…this readable and reliable volume is without any doubt a welcome contribution to the discussion of early Chinese religion. The attempt to analyze its characteristics from the perspective of practices that are situated within historical events and strategically implemented by historical figures deserves our full attention." — Religious Studies Review
"…[an] innovative study of the role of religion in early China's political history." — CHOICE
"Heaven Is Empty is a tour de force. It reveals Marsili's bold vision of early Chinese religion and his deft use of critical theory. The book will inspire scholars of early China for generations to come." — Miranda Brown, author of The Politics of Mourning in Early China and The Art of Medicine in Early China: The Ancient and Medieval Origins of a Modern Archive
