Description: Xunzi by Burton Watson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In the most complete, well-ordered philosophical society of his day, Xunzi advocated the counteraction of mans evil through self-improvement, the pursuit of learning, the avoidance of obsession and observance or ritual in life. And his ideas are still close to those of ours today. Publisher Description Xunzi asserted that the original nature of man is evil, differing on this point from Mencius, his famous predecessor in the Confucian school. In the most complete, well-ordered philosophical system of his day, Xunzi advocated the counteraction of mans evil through self-improvement, the pursuit of learning, the avoidance of obsession, and observance of ritual in life. Readers familiar with Xunzis work will find that Burton Watsons lucid translation breathes new life into this classic. Those new to Xunzi will find his ideas on government, language, and order and safety in society surprisingly close to concerns of our own age.
