The Analects are a collection of Confucius’s sayings brought together by his pupils shortly after his death in 497 BC. Together they express a philosophy, or a moral code, by which Confucius, one of the most humane thinkers of all time, believed everyone should live. Upholding the ideals of wisdom, self-knowledge, courage and love of one’s fellow man, he argued that the pursuit of virtue should be every individual’s supreme goal. And, while following the Way, or the truth, might not result in immediate or material gain, Confucius showed that it could nevertheless bring its own powerful and lasting spiritual...read more

Brought to you by Penguin. This Penguin Classic is performed by Windson Liong. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Martin Palmer. The Most Venerable Book (also known as The Book of History) is one of the Five Classics. For many centuries it was a central work for anyone wishing to work for the Imperial administration, with its prestige stemming from the belief that it had been assembled by Confucius himself. The First Emperor tried to have all copies destroyed because of its subversive implication that 'the Mandate of Heaven' could be withdrawn from rulers who failed their people. For similar reasons it was also banned by Mao. Extraordinarily, it has been revived by...read more

La pensée de Confucius est si forte qu'elle domina la vie intellectuelle de la Chine ancienne pendant des siècles, allant jusqu'à constituer une véritable religion, le confucianisme. Lao-tsu (Laozi, Lao-tzu, ou Lao Tseu) est l'auteur du Tao Te Ching (Livre de la Voie et de la Vertu), et fut le père fondateur du taoïsme. C'est à lui qu'on doit le sens des équilibres yin et yang, le principe du non-agir, et l'idée du Tao, à l'origine de toutes choses. Siddharta Gautama était né prince ; dégoûté des illusions matérielles, il parcourut un temps le chemin de l'ascétisme, avant de se rendre compte que la négation du corps n'était qu'une autre des illusions de la conscience....read more

De gedachte aan Confucius is zo sterk dat het het intellectuele leven van het oude China eeuwenlang heeft gedomineerd en zelfs een ware religie, het Confucianisme, heeft gevormd. Lao-tsu (Laozi, Lao-tzu, of Lao Tseu) is de auteur van het Tao Te Ching (Boek van de Weg en de Deugd), en was de grondlegger van het Taoïsme. Het is aan hem dat we het gevoel van yin en yang evenwicht, het principe van non-action, en het idee van Tao, de oorsprong van alle dingen, te danken hebben. Siddharta Gautama werd als prins geboren; walgend van materiële illusies, reisde hij een tijd lang het pad van de ascese, voordat hij zich realiseerde dat de ontkenning van het lichaam slechts een van de illusies van...read more

Tanken på Confucius är så stark att den dominerade det forntida Kinas intellektuella liv i århundraden och gick så långt att det utgjorde en sann religion, konfucianismen. Lao-tsu (Laozi, Lao-tzu eller Lao Tseu) är författaren till Tao Te Ching (Book of the Way and Virtue) och var grundläggaren till taoismen. Det är för honom som vi är skyldiga känslan av yin och yang-jämvikt, principen om icke-handling och idén om Tao, ursprunget till allt. Siddharta Gautama föddes som prins; äcklad av materiella illusioner, reste han vägen till asketism en stund innan han insåg att kroppens förnekelse bara var en annan av medvetenhetens illusioner. Det var då han uppnådde upplysning,...read more

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...read more
