Description:

Mencius (about 371 to 289 BC) was a Chinese moral philosopher whose writings became part of the living tradition in China. This volume offers an historical and universal understanding of Mencius, whose arguments go beyond particular situations to speculate on their larger implications.

Synopsis:

Considered second only to Confucius in the history of Chinese thought, Mencius (371?-289 B.C.), was a moral philosopher whose arguments, while pragmatically rooted in the political and social conditions of his time, go beyond particular situations to probe their origins and speculate on their larger implications. His writings thus constitute a living tradition in China and the world at large.
