Summary

Long over due, this anthology collects in one volume new translations of some of the central works by major early Chinese philosophers-Kongzi (Confucius), Mozi, Mengzi (Mencius), Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, and Han Feizi. The book offers an excellent and balanced selection of texts in readable translations that reflect the very latest in fine scholarship.
