Mencius on the Mind: Experiments in Multiple Definition by I. A. Richards is a book that explores the philosophy of the ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius. The book focuses on Mencius' ideas about the mind and how they can be interpreted and applied in modern times. The author uses a unique approach of multiple definition, where he provides various interpretations of Mencius' concepts and encourages readers to consider them all. This approach allows for a deeper understanding of Mencius' philosophy and its relevance to contemporary issues. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or Eastern thought.1932. British literary critic, theorist of literature and education, in this original work, Richards aims to call attention to a fascinating field for exploration, Chinese modes of meaning, by comparison to which it is possible to clarify our contemporary methods of controlling meanings. After applying the results of this comparative discussion, this book presents the Chinese view of psychology based on the work of Mencius, a view that is relevant to the problem of the relationship of science to value.
