The Chinese Classics: Part Two, Menicus is a book written by James Legge and published in 1875. It is a translation of the Chinese classic text known as the Mengzi, or Menicus in English. The Mengzi is a collection of dialogues and sayings attributed to the philosopher Menicus, who lived in China during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE). The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains an introduction by Legge, in which he discusses the history and significance of the Mengzi, as well as his approach to translating it. The second part is the translation itself, which includes the original Chinese text alongside Legge's English translation.The Mengzi is considered one of the most important works of Chinese philosophy, and is widely studied in China and around the world. It covers a wide range of topics, including ethics, politics, and human nature. Menicus is known for his emphasis on the importance of education and moral cultivation, and his ideas have had a significant influence on Chinese thought and culture.Overall, The Chinese Classics: Part Two, Menicus is an important resource for anyone interested in Chinese philosophy and culture, and provides a valuable insight into the ideas and teachings of Menicus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
