Description
Confucius is one of the most humane, rational, and lucid of moral teachers, concerned not with arcane metaphysics, but with practical issues of life and conduct.
What is virtue
What sort of life is most conducive to happiness
How should the state be ruled
What is the proper relationship between human beings and their environment
In this classic translation by Arthur Waley, the questions Confucius addressed two and a half millennia ago remain as relevant as ever.
