Hsun Tzu (born circa 312 BC) set forth the most complete and well-ordered philosophical system of his day. Basically Confucian, he differed with Mencius by asserting that the nature of man is originally evil. To counteract this evil, he advocated self-improvement, the pursuit of learning, the avoidance of obsession, and constant attention to ritual in all areas of life. He also discussed good government, military affairs, Heaven, music and the retificatin of names.
This new translation, by Burton Watson, of Hsun Tzu's basic writings presents his thoughts on these matters. An introduction places the philosopher in relation to Chinese history and thought.
Includes Index.
