Mencius' political philosophy basically results from an extension of his doctrine of moral feelings. As he told the rulers, "If you let people follow their feelings (original nature), they will be able to do good" (Mencius 6A6). When Xunzi later attacked Mencius, one of his arguments was based on the concept of natural feelings.
