CHINESE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY :: 1925 HB

• Hardback book by William S. A. Pott
• COPYRIGHT, 1925, BY ALFRED A. KNOPF, INC.

According to the PREFACE:

" This little book lays no claim to being a thorough or even an adequate study of Chinese political thought. It is nothing more than a modest effort to suggest a point of view which is both familiar and simple: sound logical procedure requires that in analogical reasoning we should note significant differences as well as striking resemblances lest the latter influence us unduly in the formulation of our conclusions. "

" This small volume is simply the expression of the belief that the West will always be better prepared to understand the East in the field of political thought or in any of the other branches of civilization when it observes the injunction of the Delphic Oracle to know itself better. "
