Confucius - great philosopher and gentleman scholar
11 May 2012
Format:Paperback
A very informative look at a well known figure from history (in name at least) who remains a somewhat mysterious and beguiling character even today. Living in China during a time of great political and social turmoil, Confucius tried to bring about a moral code that harked back to a more peaceful and noble time in Chinese history. His "Way" aimed to guide society; specifically the common man and those in positions of power, along a path of humility, goodness, benevolence including greater observance of ritual and an increased value of learning and education. Whilst it is seen that he struggled to get his philosophy accepted during his life his legacy was and continues to be revered long after his passing. Meher MacArthur expertly brings together the many vague, contradicting and sometimes questionable facts on the life of Confucius into a satisfying biography of the great philosopher and gentleman scholar.
