Why Is Han Fei Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Han Fei , also known as Han Feizi or Han Fei Zi, was a Chinese philosopher or statesman of the "Legalist" school during the Warring States period, and a prince of the state of Han. Han Fei is often considered to be the greatest representative of "Chinese Legalism" for his eponymous work the Han Feizi, synthesizing the methods of his predecessors. Han Fei's ideas are sometimes compared with those of Niccolò Machiavelli, author of The Prince. Zhuge Liang is said to have attached great importance to the Han Feizi, as well as Shen Buhai.
