Reviews

"""This is a long-awaited translation, and I envisage that it will become a standard of scholarship and an invaluable source to which both specialists and non-specialists will be indebted.""--Winnie Sung, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews ""Eric Hutton's new translation of this rich and multifaceted text is ... a truly valuable gateway for introducing newcomers in the field of Chinese and comparative philosophy, as well as more advanced students and scholars, to the philosophy of Xunzi.""--Ori Tavor, Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy ""The decision by Eric Hutton to translate the verse sections as poetry means that this book can be appreciated not only as an important work of early Confucian thought, but also as a literary text.""--Olivia Milburn, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society ""Hutton's work is an improvement over that of Knoblock, as well as that of Dubs and Watson. It is an enormous task to translate from beginning to end a text as difficult as the Xunzi. We should be grateful to Hutton for undertaking it and for devoting so much hard work to completing it.""--Jeffrey Riegel, Journal of Chinese Studies"

This is a long-awaited translation, and I envisage that it will become a standard of scholarship and an invaluable source to which both specialists and non-specialists will be indebted. --Winnie Sung, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
