Description

Explore the foundations of ancient Chinese political thought with this comprehensive volume from the Dao Companions to Chinese Philosophy series. This book provides a deep look into the thinkers who sought to perfect political systems through the use of impersonal standards, laws, and norms known as fa. While often labeled as Legalists, these thinkers played a decisive role in the formation of China's first unified empire in 221 BCE. This work examines their specific contributions, the controversies surrounding their ideas, and the lasting legacy they left behind. By analyzing their rejection of moralizing discourse, readers gain a clear understanding of how these principles influenced historical governance and their potential relevance to modern political study.
