Résumé


Variously considered a Taoist and a cynic, Han Fei, himself a prince, has been seen as a forerunner to Machiavelli. At the end of the Warring States, when oratory mattered hugely, Han Fei, with a stutter, was the brain and the plume of the Legalist School.
From Han Fei’s oeuvre, Mingyuan Hu selects and translates two extraits – ‘Goodness and Honour Are for Ancient Times, Not for Today’ and ‘Rescuing a Small Power May Not Help Its Survival; Serving the Powerful May Not Be Free of Oversight’ – encapsulating the thinking that so impressed Zheng, King of Qin, who later became the first emperor of China, and in whose prison Han Fei died drinking poison.
