Question

A thinker in this tradition was criticized in the 20th century over his characterization of morals as “parasites” or “lice.” A book from this tradition contrasts the heavy-handed man with a tactful man who clearly observes actions at the start of the section “Solitary Indignation.” That book from this tradition also makes an argument against virtue ethics in a chapter named for the “five vermin.” A thinker (10[1])in this non-Stoic tradition (10[1])conceptualized punishment and reward as the (10[1])“Two Handles.” (-5[1])This tradition coalesced during the 3rd century BCE around The Book of Lord Shang and a compilation of essays (10[1])created by Hán Fēi, which (10[1])created a model for Qín Emperors before the Hàn dynasty repressed (10[1])it in favor of Confucianism. For 10 points, name this tradition of Chinese political philosophy that advocated for realist ministers to strictly enforce rules. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
