Detailed Description
A Basic Confucius: An Introduction to the Wisdom and Advice of China's Greatest Sage, Edited by Luo Tianyou and Sun Le (Hardcover, 198 pp).
The wisdom of Confucius has acted as one of the founding pillars of
Chinese society for thousands of years. Far more than a collection of
interesting sayings, A Basic Confucius offers an essential guide to
individual cultivation and philosophical contemplation which can be
discovered by each new generation of those new to ancient Chinese
philosophy. These words are as valid today as they were more than two
thousand years ago.
Confucian thought best represents the paradigm
of Chinese philosophical thinking. Born around 550 B.C., Confucius
lived during a time of great political and social uncertainty in
Chinese history. His teachings concerning rules for social conduct,
honesty, morality, and filial piety, have been handed down from one
generation to the next and are some of the most respected social
traditions in world history.
