Description

This comprehensive introduction to Confucianism explores the history and core principles of this influential philosophical tradition. Despite its significance, there is a lack of straightforward textbooks on Confucian philosophy in Western languages, often reflecting skewed interpretations.

The book guides readers through the philosophies of three major classical Confucians: Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi, providing a balanced understanding of their ideas. It concludes with an overview of later Confucian revivals and the current standing of Confucianism in modern society.

By examining the key tenets of Confucian thought, this book aims to provide a nuanced understanding of its relevance and viability in contemporary contexts.
