The Sayings of Confucius

$19.00

Description

This collection of the thoughts and sayings of one of the greatest Chinese philosophers and teachers of all times is an excellent, educative and thought-provoking reading for those who are looking for a new perspective on life. Though the author is believed to have been born in the 6th century BC, his ideas about life, morality and politics are just as valid and pertinent today as they used to be at the time when they were written, being just as meaningful for modern readers as they were for the contemporaries of Confucius.

The values emphasized in the book are morality at a personal level just as much as at the level of the government, sincerity, justice and correctness. The system of philosophy developed by the followers and disciples of Confucius based on the Master’s sayings and writings had a huge impact not only in Asia, influencing Chinese, Japanese and Korean political thinking, but it also reached Europe through travelling Jesuits and had a similarly important influence.

The Sayings of Confucius is actually a collection compiled by one of the followers of Confucius decades after the Master’s death. It contains not only wise sentences and advice as they were formulated by Confucius, but also a lot of descriptions of real historical events, so the book makes an excellent read not only for those looking for a different state of mind in today’s stressed and hectic world, but also for those interested in history as it is told by people who lived through it.

Timeless and inspirational sayings from a philosopher and politician who was way ahead of his time – this is what The Sayings of Confucius offers. Some of the sayings might seem cryptic for lack of historical knowledge about the era, but what the reader gets with this book is certainly an extraordinary, very deep and modern way of seeing life.
