<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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? <p/>In this classic translation of <i>The Analects</i> by Arthur Waley, the questions Confucius addressed two and a half millennia ago remain as relevant as ever.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Confucius [551-479 BC], though of noble descent, was born in humble circumstances. He believed that politics is only an extension of morals, and spent ten years travelling through the various states of China spreading his ideas. When he realised that there was no way of converting the feudal rulers to his way of thinking he returned to Lu and spent the rest of his life there teaching his pupils. D.C Lau has held a number of professorships in the field of Chinese language and literature. <p/>Arthur Waley (1889-1966) is highly regarded for his many translations of Chinese and Japanese literature. <p/>Sarah Allan teaches classical Chinese and Chinese philosophy at Dartmouth College.
