Description: Course notes for students of this classical Chinese tradition.
In this chapter, Schwartz provides not only a systematic introduction to Legalism, but also to the background against which Legalism started.  He traced the beginning of Legalism to the time of Confucius and such Confucian contemporaries as Tze-chan (Zi-chan), a ruler of a small state called Cheng and an acquaintance/possible student of Confucius.  Schwartz argues that for the early Legalists, different from the Confucians who championed the importance of self-cultivation and cultivation of the family, they wanted uniform standards to govern the state to achieve more effective and rapid results.  We only need to read pp.321-335, and 339-343 (on Han Fei-zi).
