Chinese Legalist Philosophers gathers the ancient Chinese philosophers of the Legalist, Fajia, school, who argued for a strict, codified system of law and punishment administered uniformly regardless of rank as the foundation of a stable, centralized state. Legalist thought shaped the Qin dynasty's unification of China and its codes, a legal tradition that developed entirely independently of the Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman and Indian traditions grouped elsewhere in this subcategory.
