This volume presents an annotated translation of the the entire text, focusing on the passages that elucidate Yang's discussion of the core concepts of the Confucian school. The translator's commentary traces the text's major philosophical concepts to their roots in Warring States era philosophy, noting stylistic and conceptual allusions to the "Analects" and "Mencius", among other texts. Also included are a discussion of Yang's biography and the influence of the eremitic ideal on his life and thought.— Google Books
