C. C. Tsai Books

A transformative new edition of Taoism’s central text that overturns its reputation for calming, gnomic wisdom, revealing instead a work of “philosophical dynamite”

Engagingly illustrated, this graphic adaptation of Mencius brings to life the teachings of the influential philosopher known as the Second Sage. Through humorous storytelling and vibrant visuals, it explores themes of morality, governance, and human goodness, showcasing Mencius's arguments for prioritizing the welfare of the people. The inclusion of original Chinese text alongside the English cartoons enriches the reading experience, making it accessible for both casual readers and students of Chinese philosophy. This edition is a delightful blend of education and entertainment.
