Synopsis

""Mencius On The Mind: Experiments In Multiple Definition"" is a book written by I. A. Richards that explores the philosophy of the ancient Chinese thinker Mencius. The book presents a series of experiments in multiple definition, a method of analyzing language that involves identifying different meanings of a word or phrase and exploring how they relate to one another. Through these experiments, Richards seeks to uncover the underlying concepts and principles that govern Mencius' ideas about the mind, including his views on human nature, morality, and the relationship between the individual and society. The book provides a detailed and insightful analysis of Mencius' philosophy, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of Chinese philosophy, linguistics, and psychology.This is a new release of the original 1932 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
