Summary
First published in 2000, this is volume includes The mind of Mencius- political economy founded upon moral philosophy. Mencius has already been translated into several European languages. Notwithstanding this, the doctrines of this ancient Chinese philosopher are almost unknown ; the reason of which is the general lack of system which prevails amongst Chinese authors.
