hanfeizi believed that everyone was evil and that they had to be controlled by strict laws.
He wanted to bring order to society, so that the rulers would be role models. Confucius thought it was important because he wanted them not to be cruel. Rulers had developed a propensity of being cruel to slaves and other classes.

Hanfeizi was very important. Legalism was based on his teachings. He lived from 280-233 B.C.E. He was a prince of the royal family of the state of Han. He got to see the end of the Warring States Period and the Zhou Dynasty Like Confucius. Hanfeizi was very concered with creating peace and order into a society, but he did not think Confucious teachings about proper behavior were the answer. Many of his ideas survive today in a book named after him called Hanfeizi.
