Mencius
The Sayings of Mencius has been revered for well over 2,000 years, and is arguably the most influential of the Si Shu (Four Books) which form the foundation of traditional Chinese education.
'Master Meng' was born during the turbulent Warring States period, and was a tireless advocate of Confucian thought, defending and expanding its tenets as a means of achieving peaceful relations between individuals and competing kingdoms. The sage spent most of his life journeying from court to court, always seeking a Ruler sufficiently principled to apply his teachings. Few were found worthy.
According to his philosophy, each of the fundamental Confucian virtues already exist within us as "sprouts" (especially jen (acting compassionately) and yi (doing what is morally correct)). The Wise who cultivate these young shoots can achieve harmony, both within themselves, and in relation to their fellow beings. Human societies which follow this path will be fair, just and free of conflict.
The Mencius is filled with a stunning variety of philosophical and political subjects. Discussions with warlords, disciples, and philosophical adversaries vie with pronouncements on duty, human nature, society and (a recurring theme) the evils of war. A book to return to again and again.
