The Essential Confucius: The Heart of Confucius' Teachings in Authentic I Ching Order - Cleary, Thomas

Clean, tight, unmarked; crease down inside front flap of dust jacket; crease down center of first several pages; otherwise very minimal wear; This presentation of the ever popular sayings of Confucius is designed to bring the wisdom of a great teacher to another generation. Cleary has arranged the sayings of Confucius in the order of the 64 classic I Ching hexagrams, which Confucius not only made available in their present form but also supplemented with his own written commentaries. Warning of the social consequences of people in positions of power who consider personal profit and advantage before public humanity and justice, Confucius believed in the regeneration of public and private conscience through education and the influence of unifying cultural ideals. Thomas Cleary makes the great Confucian ideas on morality, behavior, business, diplomacy, and spirituality easily accessible to the western reader.
