'''Han Feizi''' was a Chinese philosopher. He created a philosophy known as [[Legalism]] based on the ideas of [[Shang Yang]]. This philosophy emphasizes the need to promote the ruler's authority through strict laws and strict enforcement. This is in contrast to [[Confucianism]], which emphasized moral duty and the need for superiors, including the ruler, to set a good moral example. | '''Han Feizi''' was a Chinese philosopher.
