For more than two thousand years, the writings of the Confucian
philosopher Mengzi have been a source of guidance and inspiration
for those set on doing something to improve the state of the world.
In Doing What You Really Want, Franklin Perkins presents a
coherent, systematic, and accessible explanation of Mengzi's
philosophy. He covers everything from the place of human beings in
nature, to human psychology and philosophy of emotions, to the
various ways in which we can deliberately change and cultivate
ourselves. Mengzi was concerned not just with theory but also
effective action. Perkins thus includes a collection of practical
advice and a Confucian analysis of politics oriented toward how
individuals can make a difference in the world. These topics are
integrated around Mengzi's philosophy as a way of life dedicated to
changing the world, providing an alternative approach for
understanding the contemporary relevance of Confucianism. Mengzi
offers theoretical and practical resources valuable for anyone
concerned with integrating efforts to improve the world with
personal fulfillment and a sense of belonging. Rather than giving
an overview, this is a focused work of philosophy that delves
deeply into the most relevant themes of Mengzi's thought. The core
philosophical system is drawn from Mengzi, but the book regularly
incorporates other Confucian materials, making this volume a useful
introduction to Confucian thought.
