Mencio fu uno dei grandi filosofi dell'antica Cina, secondo solo per influenza a Confucio, i cui insegnamenti difese e ampliò. Il Mencio, in cui racconta i suoi dialoghi con re, duchi e militari, così come altri filosofi, è uno dei Quattro Libri che costituiscono il corpus essenziale di Confucio. Riprende le teorie di Confucio su jen, o bontà e yi, rettitudine, spiegando che l'individuo può raggiungere l'armonia con l'umanità e l'universo perfezionando la sua innata natura morale e agendo con benevolenza e giustizia. Le visioni sorprendentemente moderne di Mencio sui doveri dei sudditi e dei loro governanti o sui mali della guerra, crearono un'ortodossia confuciana che è rimasta intatta dal terzo secolo a.C.

Mencius (372-298 BC) was one of the greatest Chinese philosophers, focusing on political theory and practice. Mencius, like Confucius, believed that rulers were divinely placed in order to guarantee peace and order among the people they rule. Unlike Confucius, Mencius believed that if a ruler failed to bring peace and order about, then the people could be absolved of all loyalty to that ruler and were justified to revolt.
D. C. Lau is a Professor at the University of Hong Kong.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Mencius was one of the great philosophers of ancient China, second only in influence to Confucius, whose teachings he defended and expanded. The Mencius, in which he recounts his dialogues with kings, dukes and military men, as well as other philosophers, is one of the Four Books that make up the essential Confucian corpus. It takes up Confucius's theories of jen, or goodness and yi, righteousness, explaining that the individual can achieve harmony with mankind and the universe by perfecting his innate moral nature and acting with benevolence and justice. Mencius' strikingly modern views on the duties of subjects and their rulers or the evils of war, created a Confucian orthodoxy that has remained intact since the third century BCE. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001968882
