Three Ways of Thought in Ancient China (China: History, Philosophy, Economics)

Three Ways of Thought in Ancient China (China: History, Philosophy, Economics) By The Arthur Waley Estate, Arthur Waley
2005 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 041536180X | PDF | 10 MB


First published in 1939. This book consists chiefly of extracts from Chuang Tzu, Mencius and Han Fei Tzu. Chuang Tzu's appeal is to the imagination; the appeal of mencius is to the moral feelings; realism, as expounded by Han Fei Tzu, finds a close parallel in modern Totalitarianism and as a result these extracts from a book of the third century B.C. nonetheless have a very contemporary connection.
