Críticas:

"The best introduction to classical Confucian philosophy currently available. It is unique in being not only very well written (and thus accessible to non-specialists) but equally grounded on meticulous scholarship of primary and secondary sources. It not only provides non-specialists with a highly informed introduction to the crucial classics of the Confucian tradition, but also a handy guide for scholars interested in the various views on Confucian philosophy that are currently discussed within the academic community." - Hans-Georg Moeller, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University College Cork

Reseña del editor:

"Confucianism" presents the history and salient tenets of Confucian thought, and discusses its viability, from both a social and a philosophical point of view, in the modern world. Despite most of the major Confucian texts having been translated into English, there remains a surprising lack of straightforward textbooks on Confucian philosophy in any Western language. Those that do exist are often oriented from the point of view of Western philosophy - or, worse, a peculiar school of thought within Western philosophy - and advance correspondingly skewed interpretations of Confucianism. This book seeks to rectify this situation. It guides readers through the philosophies of the three major classical Confucians: Confucius (551-479 BCE), Mencius (372-289 BCE?) and Xunzi (fl. 3rd cent. BCE), and concludes with an overview of later Confucian revivals and the standing of Confucianism today.
