Interesting as representing the Legalist school which united China under the Qin (Ch'in) but then was discredited, though its harsh methods often remained in use. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0231086091, Paperback)

Representative of the Fachia, or Legalist, school of philosophy, the writings of Han Fei Tzu (280?-233 B.C.) confront the issues of preserving and strengthening the state. His lessons remain timely as scholars continue to examine the nature and use of power. Burton Watson provides a new preface and a helpful introduction.
