Summary
One of the undisputed giants in the history of human thought, and the founder of one of the world's longest-lasting cultural traditions, Confucius (known as Kong Fuzi in his native China) is arguably the most enduring of all the world's great thinkers.
The Analects, the slender volume thought to have been compiled by his followers, has the strongest claim to represent Confucius' actual words. Sometimes pithy, sometimes conversational, occasionally enigmatic, often profoundly searching, the book contains memorable sayings about the moral health of the individual, the family and the body politic, and continues to be a source of inexhaustible wisdom after more than two and a half millennia.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Calming but not as insightful
I find more carity and enlightenment from Laozi's writings. perhaps if I was in public service I would find more meaning.

Amazing man
I read through all the greats. Confucius really blew my mind. The concept that man is inherently good if allowed to be or structured to be is fascinating. Can good government exist?

Thought provoking
Too many references to random people. To understand this collection of teaching requires serious studying of the historical context.
There were many wise sayings and solid moral reasoning in this book but it is not a light read.
To fully understand the Analects serious study is needed to know the context.
