Sayings of Confucius

Written during the 4th century BC, a time of great upheaval in China, this catalogue of sayings by Confucius offers both a profound philosophic insight into the thought, ideas and morals of the thinkers of the era as well as a history of ancient Chinese society. References to fierce battles and intrigues between dukes and kings are homage to the conflict which characterised the era in which Confucianist philosophy was born.
