Confucius stands alone among the worlds greatest thinkers. Perhaps no other teacher has exerted so powerful a hold over so many people for so long. For two and a half millennia his sayings, preserved and developed by generations of his followers, have shaped the cultural and political life of the worlds most populous nation, and they continue to offer fresh insights for todays globalised society. This text sets Confuciuss life and teaching in the context of the long history of China, and examines the origins, meanings and influence of one of historys most enduring philosophical traditions.
