The Sayings of Confucius A New Translation of the Greater Part of the Confucian Analects

"The Sayings of Confucius" by Confucius offers a window into the core beliefs of Confucianism by recording the philosophies, discussions, and moral aphorisms of Confucius from long ago. The collection looks hard at the ideas of virtue, government, the right way to act, and highlights the roles people have in their families and communities. The writings look at the important parts of moral behavior, and act as a guide for right and wrong, stressing the significance of acting in a way that brings honor in all behavior. The initial portion looks at the basic components of Confucian thought, that underscore both self-improvement and the devotion to family, and shines a light on the leader's roles and duties, who must show moral clarity to cultivate a good, fair, and structured society.
