Synopsis:
Sale edition. A timely and accessible biography and study of the great Chinese philosopher whose influence has informed Chinese moral and social thought for over two thousand years.
Scholar, philosopher, and political sage, Confucius is one of the most important figures in Chinese history, and his teachings have shaped world culture. Possibly a contemporary of Buddha and a predecessor of Socrates, Confucius lived in the Sixth century BC, when China was wracked by warfare between rival feudal states. In response, he developed a system of social and political behaviour that he hoped would create peace and harmony throughout the land.
"To be able, under all circumstances, to practice these five things constitutes perfect virtue: gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness." Confucius.
"The great sage has been put back on his pedestal. A timely biography." The Guardian. |
