The Analects

by Confucius

ISBN 9780140443486

About This Book

"Formulated in the ruins of a society that had been founded on untenable spiritualistic concepts of governance, Confucius' philosophy postulated a humanistic social order that has survived as China's social ideal ever since." "Confucius' teachings are very literary in nature. The Analects is made up of dialogues, stories, and anecdotes, always aphoristic and full of poetic turns of thought."--BOOK JACKET.

Editorial Note

Ethics is not a set of rules but a practice of relationships — becoming a good person and building a good society are the same project.
