The third edition of Ivanhoe and Van Norden's acclaimed anthology builds on the strengths of previous editions with the addition of new selections for each chapter: selections from Shen Dao; a new translation of the writings of Han Feizi; selections from two texts, highly influential in later Chinese philosophy, the Great Learning and Mean; and a complete translation of the recently discovered text Nature Comes from the Mandate.

Each section of this volume begins with a brief introduction and concludes with a lightly annotated selective bibliography. Also included are four appendices: Important Figures, Important Periods, Important Texts, and Important Terms.

Additional materials, including study questions for selected chapters, will be available on the Title Support Page for this volume on the Hackett Publishing Company website: www.hackettpublishing.com/rccp-support in spring 2023.
