This volume presents a comprehensive analysis of the Confucian
thinker Xunzi and his work, which shares the same name. It features
a variety of disciplinary perspectives and offers divergent
interpretations. The disagreements reveal that, as with any other
classic, the Xunzi provides fertile ground for readers. It is a
source from which they have drawn-and will continue to
draw-different lessons. In more than 15 essays, the contributors
examine Xunzi's views on topics such as human nature, ritual,
music, ethics, and politics. They also look at his relations with
other thinkers in early China and consider his influence in East
Asian intellectual history. A number of important Chinese scholars
in the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE) sought to censor the Xunzi. They
thought that it offered a heretical and impure version of
Confuciansim. As a result, they directed study away from the Xunzi.
This has diminished the popularity of the work. However, the essays
presented here help to change this situation. They open the text's
riches to Western students and scholars. The book also highlights
the substantial impact the Xunzi has had on thinkers throughout
history, even on those who were critical of it. Overall, readers
will gain new insights and a deeper understanding of this
important, but often neglected, thinker.
