Description

Explore the complex foundations of Chinese political theory in this scholarly work by Xuezhi Guo. This book examines how traditional thought fuses altruistic pursuits with functional practicability to define leadership. By investigating the personality criteria required for both ideal and real politics, Guo provides a deep look into the values and ethics found within the Confucian, Daoist, and Legalist traditions. The text investigates the complementary roles of these different schools of thought to show how an ideal personality is grounded. Readers will learn about the five specific characteristics of an ideal political leader as identified by the author. Guo traces the evolution of these traits and analyzes how they influence the personality of political figures throughout history.
