Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Blue buckram w/gilt lettering. Very mild wear, slight sunning to spine. Text clean and white, no marks. "This book is an attempt to attack the problems of knowledge; What is knowledge, and how is it to be justified? It is obvious that these problems are fundamental to all philosophy and science. While the problem of the nature of knowledge has received a great deal of attention by philosophers, under the name of epistemology, the logically prior problem, How do we know when we have attained knowledge? has never been adequately treated." (from the preface).

1 volume in-12, 308 pp., brown hardcover, very good condition. A literal translation of all portions of the writings of Hsuntze(d.235 B.C.) believed by Dubs to be both original and important. Dubs based this translation on Hsuntze Chicnien compiled by Wang Hsien-ch'ien and has provided the pagination of Wang's work in the columns for convenient cross reference. Since Hsuntze was founder of one of the two major branches of early Confucianism, this translation is a major contribution to the study of ancient Chinese philosophy.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. 308 pp. Londres, Arthur Probsthain, 1927, in-12, 308 pp, Cartonnage éditeur bleu, dos long, Édition originale de la thèse pour le doctorat d'Homer Dubs relative à la vie et l'oeuvre de Xun Zi, un penseur confucéen ayant vécu au IIIe siècle avant J.C. Diamétralement opposé à Mencius, il pense que la nature de l'homme est mauvaise et que seule l'éducation peut y remédier. Éducation qui se fait par imitation des actions, des gestes de l'homme sage et non tant de sa parole. C'est donc une philosophie rationaliste et réaliste dont l'influence se fera particulièrement ressentir sous la dynastie Han avant de progressivement disparaître sous les Tang.
