Wisdom of Confucius: Helpful Insights for Modern Readers from the Classic Teachings of the Great Chinese Philosopher
by Confucius, Epiphanius Wilson
Category: Religion

Provides helpful insights for modern readers from the classic teachings of the great Chinese philosopher. Confucius espoused a philosophy at once practical and moral, eternal and conservative, and always deeply grounded in the truths of human character. His reflections on government, family life and marriage, wealth and poverty, goodness and evil are as fresh, incisive, and relevant today as they were two thousand years ago. It is a reissue of the classic 1900 English translation of The Wisdom of Confucius. The collection reflects on subjects ranging from good government to filial piety, philanthropy, human instinct and habit, history, and warfare.
