Beschreibung
For more than two thousand years, the writings of the Confucian philosopher Mengzi have been a source of guidance and inspiration for those set on doing something to improve the state of the world. This book is a coherent, systematic, and accessible explanation of his philosophy, covering everything from the place of human beings in nature, to human psychology and emotions, to the ways in which we can deliberately change and cultivate ourselves, including practical advice. The writing is clear and engaging, accessible to students and general readers with no background in philosophy or Chinese studies.
