Bruce Brooks.\n\nThe theory is a consistent application of the view, expressed by several 19th and 20th century scholars but not systematically pursued, that many of these texts are not monolithic compilations, but consist at least in part of material added by later followers of the school founder. Professor Brooks has first attempted to identify layering in individual texts on formal, linguistic, and other internal grounds, and then to stratigraphically match the single-text sequences with each other by joining the separated halves of interchanges such as the ongoing dialogue between the Micians and the Confucians, and finally to assign absolute dates to the resulting construct from references to contemporary events and similar evidence. The ultimate goal is to produce a firmly dated inclusive chronology in terms of which longstanding questions of inconsistency in a single text, or the pattern of influence between two philosophical schools, can at last be resolved, and from which the history of the period, both intellectual and material, can for the first time be directly read.\n\nThe Working Group established to scrutinize the present state of this",
