In this intriguing look at the ethical and spiritual meaning of the \u003cem\u003eAnalects\u003c\/em\u003e, Rodney L. Taylor, the foremost American researcher of Confucius as a religious and spiritual figure, explains their profound and universal wisdom for our own time. He shows how Confucius advocates learning and self-cultivation to follow the \"path of the sage\" or \"Way of Heaven\"--a journey that promises to promote reason, peace and understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside an updated version of the classic translation by Sinologist James Legge, Taylor provides informative and accessible commentary that illuminates the meaning behind selected passages from the \u003cem\u003eAnalects\u003c\/em\u003e and their insights on character development, respect and reverence, and the nature of learning, goodness, truthfulness and righteousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-338472\"\u003eRodney L.
