Abstract

The philosopher Han Feizi lived during the Warring States period (c. 280-233 BC). His work, of a neatly political character, representative of the Legist school, inspired Qin Shihuang, First Emperor and China's unifier. The tenets of this political theory have earned him the nickname "the Chinese Machiavelli". The authors underline the rhetorical interest of Han Feizi and offer new translations directly from Classical Chinese into Spanish, including the first complete version of chapter 12, "Difficulties of persuasion", the most relevant one as far as rhetoric is concerned. A final commentary analizes the text and suggests some possible lines of research from the standpoint of comparative rhetoric.
