Han Feizi (280?-233 B.C.), a prince of Han, was a representative of the Fa-chia, or Legalist, school of philosophy and produced the final and most readable exposition of its theories. His handbook for the ruler deals with the problems of strengthening and preserving the state, the way of the ruler, the use of power, and punishment and favor. Ironically, the ruler most influenced by Han Feizi, the king of Qin, eventually sent Han Feizi to prison, where he later committed suicide.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Translations from the Asian ClassicsRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
