Description: " Confucianism" presents the history and salient tenets of Confucian thought and discusses its viability from both a social and a philosophical point of view in the modern world. Despite most of the major Confucian texts having been translated into English there remains a surprising lack of straightforward textbooks on Confucian philosophy in any Western language. Those that do exist are often oriented from the point of view of Western philosophy - or worse a peculiar school of thought within Western philosophy - and advance correspondingly skewed interpretations of Confucianism. This book seeks to rectify this situation. It guides readers through the philosophies of the three major classical Confucians: Confucius (551 - 479 BCE) Mencius (372 - 289 BCE?) and Xunzi (fl. 3rd cent. BCE) and concludes with an overview of later Confucian revivals and the standing of Confucianism today.
