Author Han, Fei, -234 BCE
Title 韩非子
Alternate Title Han Feizi
Summary 《韩非子》 by Fei Han is a philosophical text written during the late Warring States period. The work presents the thoughts and theories of Han Fei, a prominent legalist philosopher who emphasizes the importance of strong governance, law, and order. The central topics explore the dynamics of power, governance, and the moral responsibilities of rulers and subjects in the context of political strategy. The opening portion of the text discusses various perspectives on political governance, focusing on the consequences of loyalty and betrayal among subjects and the ruler. It outlines the perils of reliance on flawed advisors and the significance of clear rewards and punishments in maintaining control over the populace. The discourse examines the nature of military engagements, emphasizing strategic advantages and the critical importance of a ruler's wisdom in fostering a robust state, while cautioning against the internal discord that can lead to a nation's downfall.
