Xunzi believed in human nature and that moral education was essential for society, making him a Confucianist. Mingyuan Hu selects and translates three treatises to illustrate his argument.

A profound philosopher, Xunzi diverged from Mencius' views on human nature. He held a belief that humans are inherently wicked. Despite this unconventional starting point, Xunzi arrived at the same Mencian conclusion: moral education is of utmost importance for the functioning of society, and the ruler should be virtuous, safeguarding the people. Consequently, Xunzi can be considered a Confucianist, although his students, Han Fei and Li Si, were to deviate from Confucian principles. In this book, Mingyuan Hu has chosen and translated three treatises from Xunzi, showcasing his argument. This work is part of the Erstwhile Series.
