Editorial Review Product Description Reid credits Asia's success to the ethical values of Chinesephilosopher Confucius, born in 551 B.C., who taught the value ofharmony and the importance of treating others decently. This is not anew perception--Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore and others have ratherheavy-handedly invoked it to claim moral superiority over theWest--but the author's vivid anecdotes strengthen itsrelevance. Public messages constantly remind Asian citizens of theirresponsibilities to society. To enhance a sense of belonging, civicceremonies encourage individuals' allegiance to a greater good; acrossJapan, for example, April 1 is Nyu-Sha-Shiki day, when corporationsofficially welcome new employees, most of whom remain loyal to theircompany for life. Citing Malaysia's ideas of a "reverse Peace Corps,"Reid sees a case for Asians coming to teach the West in the same waythat Westerners have evangelized in Asia for over fourcenturies. --John Stevenson Customer Reviews (48)
East Meeting West, and all the Rest
More Nihonjinron

Editorial Review Product Description Chin skillfully illuminates the political and social climate in which Confucius lived. She explains how Confucius made the transition from court advisor to wanderer, and how he reluctantly became a professional teacher as he refined his judgment of human character and composed his vision of a moral political order. The result is an absorbing and original book that shows how Confucius lived and thought: his habits and inclinations, his relation to the people of the time, his work as a teacher and as a counselor, his worries about the world and the generations to come. In this book, Chin brings the historical Confucius within our reach, so that he can lead us into his idea of the moral and to his teachings on family and politics, culture and learning. The Authentic Confucius is a masterful account of the life and intellectual development of a thinker whose presence remains a powerful force today. Customer Reviews (4)

Editorial Review Product Description The Analects is the most important of the teachings of Confucius. It is a collection of speeches and discussions between Confucius and his various disciples that illustrate his precepts: that anyone, regardless of his station in life, could become a superior man by living a virtuous life. The Great Learning is a protocol for living, even the humblest actions of everyday living. It is embodied by the practice illustrated by the Seven Steps. The Doctrine of the Mean deals with the means of achieving perfect virtue by following the middle way. It is a Heavenly prescription of the golden path by which learning and teaching ultimately unfold into perfect virtue. Like other great teachers, Confucius advocated action based on empathy; on practicing The Golden Rule by only doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. His aim was to improve the value and quality of life for all mankind. Customer Reviews (5)

good to know
A most fantastic achievement
Interesting but short
Excellent
Confucius: The Golden Rule The book's beautiful antiquated illustrations complement the text.They are as mysterious as the life of Confucius.I especially like the little details in this book: the quotes from the Analects on the endpapers, the author's note detailing his observations of the celebration in China held for Confucius each year, and the annotated bibliography. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Compiled by disciples of Confucius in the centuries following his death in 479 B.C.E.,The Analects of Confucius is a collection of aphorisms and historical anecdotes embodying the basic values of the Confucian tradition: learning, morality, ritual decorum, and filial piety. Reflecting the model eras of Chinese antiquity, the Analects offers valuable insights into successful governance and the ideal organization of society. Filled with humor and sarcasm, it reads like a casual conversation between teacher and student, emphasizing the role of the individual in the attainment of knowledge and the value of using historical events and people to illuminate moral and political concepts. Confucius's teachings focus on cultural and peaceful pursuits and the characteristics of benevolent and culturally distinguished government. He also discusses ancestor worship and other rites performed for the spirits of the dead. The single most influential philosophical work in all of Chinese history,The Analects of Confucius has shaped the thought and customs of China and neighboring countries for centuries. Burton Watson's concise translation uses the pinyin romanization system and keeps explanatory notes to a minimum, yet his intimate knowledge of the Confucian tradition and precise attention to linguistic detail capture the original text's elegance, cogency, and wit.
