Title: The Philosophy of Xunzi Condition: New Subtitle: A Reconstruction Author: Kurtis Hagen Format: Paperback EAN: 9780812695977 ISBN: 9780812695977 Publisher: Cricket Books, a division of Carus Publishing Co Genre: Philosophy & Spirituality Release Date: 01/03/2007 Description: The Philosophy of Xunzi sheds light on the teachings of a disciplined thinker who contradicted conventional schools of Confucian thought. Living in a time of great instability and discord, Xunzi came to believe that man’s desires, if left unchecked, would lead to ruin, and so advocated a system of strict societal controls. His best-known disciple took a more extreme stance, likely coloring history’s view of Xunzi. This new examination of his complex, sometimes harsh ideas, uncovers a deeper humanity and a restrained optimism in his writings, giving them new relevance for present-day Confucians and Western thinkers.
