Paper Summary:
This is a paper that reports on a particular theme in the Mencius, a classic Chinese philosophical text. It gives a very brief discussion of the author and his context and then proceeds to show specifically how Mencius and his co-authors use familiar (and familial) examples to illustrate the overarching principle of benevolence in government. This was meant to appeal to Chinese rulers and bureaucrats at the time, by using simple language and concrete examples as well as a simplified doctrine of governmental behavior that reduces to one principle of benevolent rule.More papers on The Mencius:
