Opis

Included in this volume are the most venerated selections from the Four Books and the Five Classics - the staple of the Confucian canon, presented for the first time in a web chat format that more closely resembles the conversational nature of Confucian discourses such as the Analects and the Works of Mencius. Historical references are transformed into their modern-day equivalents so that the core of Confucius's message comes through without the need for footnotes or explanations. No longer will Confucius sound like a pedant speaking in the abstract; hear him dispense his wisdom in the language of the street - for, as Confucius would say, "language is for getting your point across - no more, no less." May the master's words allow you to "reveal the truth for all its glory" as you work towards turning the world into "a bastion for the common good"
