Analects of Confucius

This handsome silkbound edition presents The Analects of Confusions with gold embossing and beautiful full-colour illustrations. This great work of philosophy brings together the words and ideas of Confucius, gathered by his loyal disciples. They espouse the importance of education for moral development and celebrate the qualities of sincerity, piety, and virtue. In these pivotal writings, human behaviour was put under the microscope for the first time. Confucius provides a moral code by which each one of us should live based on ideals of responsibility, respect, kindness, and honesty - qualities as relevant and sought-after today as they were 2,500 years ago. His principles continue to shape Eastern philosophy, politics, and culture. This deluxe gift edition makes a wonderful gift or collectible for any lover of philosophy and ancient wisdom.
