Paralell Chinese/English text, Old Translation,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Works of Mencius (Paperback)
This book contains paralell Chinese and English text on every page of the Translated Work. It also contains some excerpts from thinkers who opposed Mencius's ideas. Mencius (Mang) was a proponent of Confucius's ideas of benevolent government, and travelled around "China"(the warring states) trying to convinceKings and princes to adopt his approach of generosity towards the ruled, renunciation of offensive warfare, and respect for official rituals and rites. The Style of english translation in this book is considered to be archaic and off-putting by some, as it was done in the 1860's. It is very similar in presentation to Legge's Analects translation. |
