The book of wisdom by Mencius, a philosopher and sage of Ancient
China is presented here in hardcover with an authoritative English
translation. Written during and shortly after the Warring States
period of Chinese antiquity, the book of Mencius is a selection of
conversational dialogues between the philosopher and his various
disciples. Together they discuss all manner of topics, from living
a happy and virtuous life to the principles of raising a family and
educating the young. Breaking with Confucius himself, who venerated
rulers and strong governance, Mencius argues for the right of
common people to overthrow a repressive or brutal regime. The book
is rich with analogy, examining the actions of the ancient kings
and dukes of China in order to draw comparisons and enhance the
lessons offered. In life, Mencius was a prominent figure who
traveled and lectured widely, serving variously as an educator,
official and scholar in the realms of ancient China.
