The essays grapple with political philosophy, the role of government in society, and the importance of morality at all levels of civilization.

The volume includes a brief grammatical sketch of the language, a bibliography of available resources, some conversational phrases, and a brief ethnographic sketch of the region and the people.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles a problem at the heart of Chinese thought, the role and significance of Confucius' work the Spring and Autumn Annals or Chunqiu. Many believe the book's true meaning lies not in its words but in its silences and subtle judgments, deciphering which is vital to understanding Confucius' worldview. The author traces the development of this belief from its origins in the influential ideas of the philosopher Mengzi. The book also discusses the different ways scholars have approached the text, from taking the words at face value to interpreting them as expressions of a deeper, encoded message. The author concludes that the significance of the Chunqiu lies in its role as a guide to understanding the culture and statecraft of ancient China, and in its contribution to the enduring legacy of Confucius' thought.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The philosopher Wang Chung's Lun-Heng (Balanced Discussions) is a seminal work of Chinese thought that challenges the authority of Confucius and his teachings. Written during the first century CE, the book is a collection of essays that critically examine the Analects, Confucius's teachings, and the inconsistencies and contradictions within them. Wang Chung questions the infallibility of the Confucian sages, arguing that their doctrines are not always true and that they failed to account for the complexity of human nature. By examining the words of Confucius and his disciples, Wang Chung highlights the tension between the ideal and the real, and the difficulty of implementing moral principles in the face of human weakness. Through its incisive analysis and challenging perspectives, Lun-Heng has had a profound influence on Chinese philosophy and continues to be a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of Confucian thought.

The essays here challenge these preconceptions, examining the words and actions of Confucius to reveal a complex and often contradictory figure. Sometimes appearing hypocritical, Confucius' behavior and statements can be confounding; however, Wang Ch'ung suggests this complexity adds depth to Confucius' character and teachings.
