The Complete Confucius: The Analects, The Doctrine Of The Mean, and The Great Learning with an Introduction by Nicholas Tamblyn Paperback – December 9, 2016

Well worth the read, informative.

This book is amazing, Kongzi founded the grounds of the education in China and taught younglings over all to respect elder people and the importance of the family.

I had not read Confucius before and I greatly enjoyed it. I knew nothing of the history and involvement of his disciples in the writing process. I would recommend it to those who want to gain a better understanding of what he had to say and how it’s relevant today.I am also glad I read the two works that aren’t “The Analects”, “The Doctrine of the Mean” and “The Great Learning”, which show the teachings in a wider context. Each of the texts is a fast read compared to some other philosophical books, written in easy to understand language.There are many teachings that everyone can relate to and it should be necessary reading for everyone as the messages (simple at heart) of kindness, friendship, diligence and hard work, and treating others as you wish to be treated are teachings that always need to be shared.

I chose this book out of curiosity, but I finished it having collected some wonderful teachings from Confucius. As with most books I read, I was not disappointment with the nuggets of wisdom I found in this book.

I had no idea of this philosophy before reading this book. It is an interesting glimpse into the ancient Chinese society and customs. While my understanding is limited because some references that would be common knowledge in that day are unknown to me now, I still saw the traits that seem to be with all men of great influence. But with most if not all philosophies their is something to gain and some things that decay with the societies in which they evolved. All in all worth the read with some good thoughts to consider even in today's world.

Hi allIt may be just me. The writing does not flow smoothly.

This book is a collection of some of the more prominent texts of Confucius. These texts display the eastern philosophies that many seem to be striving to return to in this modern age. This book is perfect for gaining a basic understanding of the principles of Confucius or as an augment to a text in any philosophy class. Unfortunately much of philosophy taught in individualistic societies is of the western nature, so if you would like to incorporate the eastern teachings as well, look no further than this book!

When you can’t find anyone of intelligence to talk to, this is a great replacement. Confucius, Tao, Bible the same and yet very different.
