Mencius alongside modern perspectives

Raymond K. Li’s edition pairs a new English translation of the *Mencius* with the ancient text in Traditional Chinese. Annotations and commentaries provide context for the conversations recorded in the work and explain the Confucian ideas they present, while the modern-perspectives component connects those ideas with contemporary interpretation. The bilingual presentation makes the source text and its English rendering available together, giving the volume a format suited to both reading the classical work and consulting its explanations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Confucian philosophy and classical Chinese thought
  • Readers seeking an English translation accompanied by Traditional Chinese text
  • Students or general readers who value annotations and explanatory commentary
