Description

âWhether he is âjourneying with Chuang Tzu in the realm of Nothing Whatever,â analyzing the Confucian ideal type of Government by Goodness (as advocated by Mencius), or discussing the practical advice to rulers given by Han Fei Tzu and other realists, Mr. Waley contrives, as is his wont, to extract savory and satisfying fare from the frequently dry bones of ancient Chinese philosophy. . . . The book is enhanced by the polished and lucid style of Mr. Waleyâs translations.ââThe Times Literary SupplementâChuang Tzu, Mencius, and the Realists, three conflicting points of view from the 4th century B.C., are discussed in this well-presented work.ââSecond Wave Books on Asia - from Amzon
