 LightofChina.com - Culture Atlas - Philosophy - Han Feizi
Han Feizi and othe Legalist thinkers argued that human nature is basically selfish, and thus the social order can be maintained only when the ruler imposes rules his subjects must obey without questioning and enforces them with strict punishments.
The book regards the three essentials of government to be "power" (shi), "law"(fa) and "performance and title" (xing ming), the method for controlling government officials by comparing their actions with their precisely defined responsibilities.
The concepts of Han Feizi prepared the way for the central bureaucracy that was developed by the Han dynasty (206 BC 220) to govern China and that continued up to the modern era, through the combination of Legalist and Confucian principles.

Usually considered as one of the most brilliant minds of the era, Han Fei was a scion of the ruling dynasty of the State of Han, which was probably the weakest and most vulnerable of the Seven Mighty States of the Warring States Era.
Han Fei was a proponent of the Legalism, a school of thought which advocated stringent controls with comprehensive rules, enforced by severe punishments with some reward system as encouragements, ruling by law without consideration to personal station in life.
Han Fei was underappreciated by his own ruling house, but he was not a mercenary like Li Si, and he was at the Qin court primarily as a representative for the interests of his native state.

I got this book as a textbook for a class that I subsequently dropped, but I decided that as long as I had it, I might as well read it.
So, why Dr. Slingerland, who translated the Analects section of the book, continues to use it (see Analects 2.7, p.5) mystifies me. (Dr. Van Norden, I believe, in his translation of selections of the Mengzi, also translates xiao as filial piety.)(2) The notes accompanying Dr. Slingerland's translation of the Analects are, I think, somewhat banal.
This book is not only valuable to students and scholars but also general readers because never has there been so many great translations of so many thinkers in one reasonably priced paperback.
