Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of Confucian thought, offering a fresh translation of the Analects, a collection of sayings attributed to the influential Chinese philosopher. Confucius lived during a turbulent era in Chinese history, marked by political fragmentation and social unrest. His teachings, however, transcended the immediate context, focusing on timeless principles of good governance, individual virtue, and social harmony. Through dialogues with his disciples, Confucius explores themes of ethical leadership, self-cultivation, and the importance of human relationships. He emphasizes the need for rulers to lead by example, prioritizing the well-being of their people and upholding moral principles. He also stresses the significance of personal responsibility, filial piety, and the cultivation of virtues such as benevolence, righteousness, and sincerity. Ultimately, this book offers profound insights into the Confucian vision of a just and harmonious society, where individuals strive for self-improvement and leaders govern with wisdom and compassion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
