Analyses the influence of eight classic Chinese thinkers on the development of Chinese law: Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, Xunzi, Shang Yang and Han Fei. These thinkers helped found the Confucian, Daoist, Mohist and Legalist schools of thought, and their ideas continue to guide China’s law, philosophy and society.
Wejen Chang brings a fresh perspective to the most prominent Chinese classical philosophers – Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, Xunzi, Lord Shang and Han Fei. These thinkers founded or influenced the Confucian, Daoist, Mohist and Legalist schools of thought, and their ideas continue to guide China’s thinking and behaviour today. He shows how these thinkers addressed the key question of how philosophical thinking can serve humanity and society. Chang systematically presents their different solutions and evaluates them according to reason and experience, helping you to understand the philosophical roots of law and Chinese law in particular.

Wejen Chang is one of only a few of his contemporaries to have had traditional Chinese education in youth learning the Classics exclusively. He studied law and political science in Taiwan and received an LL.M. from Yale and an SJD from Harvard. Following research at Academia Sinica, Taiwan, he has taught Chinese legal history and jurisprudence in Taiwan (Taiwan University), China (Peking and Tsinghua universities), the US (UCLA, Harvard, NYU) and Europe (Collège de France, Leuven Catholic University).
