Mencius (372-289 BCE), or Meng Zi, is a Confucian disciple who makes major contributions to the humanism of Confucian thought.
Mencius declares that man is by nature good.
He expostulates the idea that a ruler cannot govern without the people's tacit consent and that the penalty for unpopular, despotic rule is the loss of the "mandate of heaven."
