Menzius
Mencius was a major political thinker in ancient China, a successor of Confucius and high-ranking advisor to the powerful princes of Qi. His work remains highly significant to this day in Chinese intellectual history. This book offers a comprehensive presentation of Mencius’s life and times, a translation of his work with detailed commentary, and appendices on chronology, history, and key terms.
How Should One Live?
Chinese and Greco-Roman ethics present highly articulate views on how one should live; both of these traditions remain influential in modern philosophy. The question arises how these traditions can be compared with one another. Comparative ethics is a relatively young discipline, and this volume is a major contribution to the field. Fundamental questions about the nature of comparing ethics are treated in two introductory chapters, followed by ch…
Coming to terms with dé
Hearts, desires and behavioural patterns
Thinkers in the Zhànguó period of Chinese history debated intensely whether men were by nature "good" or "bad". This debate has for many years been an important focus of sinological interest, but usually these properties were not attributed to men, but rather to so-called "human nature" (xìng 性) - thus, in effect, mirroring well-known (and problematic) "European" positions and discussions. The aim of this paper is, on the one hand, to redirect at…

Understanding Ancient Chinese Society
The study of ancient Chinese society is fraught with problems and issues and generally hampered by a lack of awareness that many basic terms are in fact still imperfectly understood. The meanings of key designations for social groups have therefore seldom been questioned, leaving them either in the state of naturally evident assumptions or of received knowledge hallowed by Chinese and sinological tradition. Although the importance of kinship and …
