Publisher's Summary

One of the undisputed giants in the history of human thought, and the founder of one of the world's longest-lasting cultural traditions, Confucius (known as Kong Fuzi in his native China) is arguably the most enduring of all the world's great thinkers.

The Analects, the slender volume thought to have been compiled by his followers, has the strongest claim to represent Confucius' actual words. Sometimes pithy, sometimes conversational, occasionally enigmatic, often profoundly searching, the book contains memorable sayings about the moral health of the individual, the family and the body politic, and continues to be a source of inexhaustible wisdom after more than two and a half millennia.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very short, very good

Lots of gems. Both from the perspective of personal and spiritual development, but also from the perspective of understanding Chinese statesmanship. There were about a dozen quotes that really slapped me in the face and made me mediate deeply on their meaning.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
