This places him between the first wave of philosophers of the pre-Han \"Hundred Schools\" (notably Lao Zi, Confucius, Mozi and Deng Xi) and the second wave, from mid-fourth to the end of the third centuries BCE. Thus, he may be said to have responded to the former and prefigured the latter. The \u003ci\u003eLiezi\u003c\/i\u003e we have today is the recension by the Xuanxue (Dark Learning) scholar Zhang Zhan and is accompanied by Zhang's commentary, which is an engaging work, presenting profound philosophical ideas in a straightforward, down-to-earth and sometimes humorous way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan Johnston was Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Sydney before retirement in 1999.
