Philosophical Influences in The Art of War found in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms

<p>“Philosophical Influences in <em>The Art of War<em>found in <em>The Romance of the Three Kingdoms<em>” is an examination of Sunzi’s philosophy about leadership in <em>The Art of War<em> as applied to the moral character, or lack thereof, of historical Han Dynasty leaders, Liu Bei and Cao Cao. In Luo Guanzhong’s <em>The Romance of the Three Kingdoms<em>, the two are fictionalized with oppositional personalities and corresponding philosophical bases. I explore the ways in which their actions embody or reject the philosophy found in Sunzi’s <em>The Art of War<em>. </em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
