Description

Critical-analytical comparison of the philosophies of Mencius and Xunzi? About the major tenets of each thinker’s philosophy and how they differ? Human nature & the sources from where as person obtain the native wish to execute fine actions is a greatly debated principle that Mencius & Xunzi powerfully disagree on. The opinion that humans are born naturally fine & untainted is protected by Mencius’s theoretical approach that the natural character is to do fine & aid others; while Xunzi could not oppose more, stating one is born awful, & simply through curative measures can one become fine.
