Description:"This book is a coherent, systematic, and plausible explanation of the philosophy of Mengzi (Mencius), a 4th century BCE Confucian. It covers the full range of Mengzi's philosophy, 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. Since Mengzi was concerned not just with theory but also effective action, the book includes a chapter gathering practical advice and a Confucian analysis of how individuals can make a difference in the world, offering a new approach to understanding the contemporary relevance of Confucianism. These topics are integrated around Mengzi's philosophy as a way of life directed toward striving to make the world a better place. 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. Mengzi's philosophy is explained in a clear and engaging way that is suitable for students and general readers with no background in philosophy or Chinese studies. The core philosophical system is drawn from Mengzi, but the book regularly includes other Confucian materials"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
