Aus dem Klappentext

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 unrest 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.
