The book covers an important period of transitions in Japanese philosophical thought touching upon the influence of Western philosophy (including Marxism) upon the ideas which changed Japanese perceptions of thier modus ...

A Basic Mencius: The Wisdom and Advice of China's Second Sage
Kuijie Zhou

Long River Press, 2007

Mencius is known to history as the "other" great philosopher from China. In actuality, Mencius was highly influential as one of the greatest exponents of Conficuan thought, and is credited with bringing Confucianism back from the brink of near extinction in China and cementing its traditions as the major social and ethical current of philosophy in Chinese civilization.

G. Allen & Unwin, 1953

MASTERPIECE
This work is one of the very few great English language classics in the exposition of traditional Chinese thought. It is delightful reading. Its author, Arthur Waley, remains long after his death the premier translator of traditional Chinese and Japanese literature. The pleasure of reading this book for the first time, years ago, influenced me in great measure to complete a doctorate in Far ...

Kwong-loi Shun

Stanford University Press, 2000

Excellent and scholarly.
Everyone in the West has heard of Confucius. But in East Asia, Mencius is known as the "second sage" of Confucianism, and has been almost as influential. This book is a serious scholarly study of Mencius as a philosopher. Shun (a professor in the philosophy department at U.C. Berkeley) carefully argues for his interpretations of key terms and claims in the sayings of Mencius, always considering ...

Outstanding
Mr. Iammarino paints an astute portrait of these complex philosophies and lays the groundwork for what I believe to be many forthcoming masterpieces of work. Anyone who considers themselves a student of philosophy or religion should own this book and all future works from Mr. Iammarino

Counterpoint, 1998

Mr. Mecius is super-fabulicius!!!
What can I say? This book is probably the closest Chinese book involving the art of parallel-argumentation that a person will ever get out of a Chinese book. I love this book. Plus, Lau really adds desert by his five highly detailed appendixes. Way to go Lau!
