Three Chinese Philosophies By Brayan Gonzalez P.2
Legalism
Teachings
Therefore, it was not enough for rulers to set a good example.
They cannot be counted upon to have a good influence on one another.
Left to themselves, Legalists said, people will always pursue their own self-interest.
Those who followed Legalism believed that most people are naturally selfish.
Influence
Legalist philosophy had an almost immediate influence on government in China.
At the end of the Warring States period, the Qin dynasty seized control of China.
Qin rulers read and admired the writings of Hanfeizi.
