The Art of War & Other Classics of Eastern Philosophy

A one-volume collection of four foundations of ancient Chinese thought in English translation. It opens with Sun Tzu's The Art of War, given both without and with commentary, and continues with Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, the Confucian Analects together with The Great Learning, and the works of Mencius.

Together the texts cover strategy and statecraft, the way of the Tao, ethics, and how a person should deal with rulers, neighbours and colleagues. This Canterbury Classics edition carries an introduction by Ken Mondschein and translations by Lionel Giles and James Legge, and was issued in 2016 as a leather-bound volume.

It suits readers who want the major classics of Chinese philosophy and military thought between two covers.
