Summary: An excellent work of scholarship
Comment: Xunzi (310-210 BC, also spelled Xun Zi or Hsun Tzu), was one of the three great Confucian philosophers; the other two were Confucius and Mencius. Many who have studied Xunzi are convinced that he was one of the greatest thinkers who ever lived. Knoblock's three-volume translation of Xunzi is very good, but it is much more than a translation. The first volume includes an extensive biography, historical background, and overview of Xunzi's thought (which is why it only includes six of Xunzi's books). Volume II includes a shorter (50 page) introduction that provides more background information. All three volumes include extensive explanatory endnotes and 2-3 appendices. There is also a lengthy preface to each chapter (book) explaining the main ideas of the chapter. This is a first-rate translation of a first-rate philosopher. Well worth the price!
