Coming at the end of the great flowering of philosophical inquiry in Warring States China, when the foundations for traditional Chinese thought were laid, Xunzi occupies a place analogous to that of Aristotle in the West. The collection of works bearing his name contains not only the most systematic philosophical exposition by any early Confucian thinker but also accounts of virtually every aspect of the intellectual, cultural, and social life of his time. This is the last of three volumes that consitute the first complete translation of the Xunzi into English.
