About this audiobook
A concise introductory guide. Can an immediate response to a child in danger become a basis for just government? This original English guide to Mencius follows the four beginnings of virtue, the argument that human nature tends toward goodness, and the demand that rulers protect people’s livelihoods. It distinguishes ancient claims from modern applications and tests objections about selective compassion and political hierarchy. Includes a working glossary, annotated bibliography, and chapter-to-source map. A critical introduction, not a translation of the Mengzi.
