Judges and conversations. Confucius

Confucius (c. 551 - 479 BC) - one of the greatest philosophers, in China, known for the name Ku -Tzu, teacher Kun. He spoke of himself as the heir and keeper of ancient civilization, but, unlike other thinkers, not only transmitted knowledge, but revealed new meanings in them and ultimately created a new, powerful philosophical school that existed to our time. The book “Judges and Conversations” - a collection of the statements of the teacher who formed the basis of Confucianism - is a real pearl of Chinese philosophy. In this work, written almost half a thousand years before the Nativity of Christ, questions about the choice and the inevitable, about humanity and public duty, about the will of heaven and the will of man are raised. In the era of the great social and political changes, Confucius tried his best to change the world. Do what you should, do not pay attention to external successes or failures - one who is able to act in this way cannot lose.
