Sino-Platonic Papers

ISSN: 2157-9679 (print)

ISSN: 2157-9687 (online)

Sino-Platonic Papers is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair of the University of Pennsylvania's Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished.

Since issue no. 171 (June 2006), Sino-Platonic Papers has been published electronically on the Web at no cost to readers, with older back issues also being released periodically for free in e-editions. Paper copies of issues nos. 1–170 will continue to be available for purchase until our stock runs out, at which point those issues too will be available for free on the Web.

Note: Search results are likely to be incomplete for issues 1–170, especially for anything in a script other than the Roman alphabet. So lack of a search result may not mean that an issue of SPP does not cover what you might be looking for.
