The Confucian Way

The teachings of Confucius - profound, subtle, all-embracing and based on universal truths - have sustained the East for over 2,500 years. As set forth in the “Four Books”, Confucianism stresses morality, love of peace, justice, honesty, virtue, moderation in all things and sincerity as the means of self-fulfillment: It is an enlightening yet practical philosophy for living, one that transends the boundaries of time, culture and creed. The great achievement of the Chinese engineer, scholar and politician Li Fu Chen has been to arrange into one compact volume the essential principles for human conduct propounded in Confucius's “Four Books”, and to make them easily accessible to Western readers for the first time.
