Reading Han Feizi | Alexandria
Read Han Feizi by Han Fei. Wielding ruthless pragmatism, Han Feizi's 2300-year-old guide to power exposes how good intentions enable tyranny. His radical insight? Virtue and morality make rulers weak. By advocating harsh laws over ethics, he revealed democracy's darkest truth: effective governance requires force, not fairness. His ice-cold realism still haunts political thought.
