Legalism
Erdemi unut. Kişisel iyiliğin gereksiz hale geldiği, ödül ve cezaların o kadar net olduğu bir sistem kur.
Han Feizi had little patience for moral philosophy. Rulers who relied on the goodness of officials were inviting disaster, because good officials are rare and human self-interest is not. What worked, he argued, was a clear and impersonal system: fixed laws, consistent punishments, and rewards that went to whoever performed, not whoever flattered. The state does not need virtuous ministers; it needs well-designed institutions. Han Feizi drew from earlier Legalist thinkers and synthesized their ideas into a cold political science — a manual for control that influenced the Qin dynasty's unification of China in 221 BCE. The results were efficient and brutal. His system ran on fear, and it worked until it collapsed from the same rigidity that made it function. He died in prison, a victim of the very court intrigues his philosophy was supposed to eliminate.
