  • Demonstrates the wisdom and enduring relevance of Confucius’s teachings – drawing parallels between our present day society and that of China 2,500 years ago, where distrust in the government, and social, economic, and technical upheavals were creating unrest
  • Draws on the latest research and incorporates interpretations of Confucius and his works by Chinese and Western scholars throughout the centuries
  • Explores how Confucius's followers expanded and reinterpreted his ideas after his death, and how this process has continued throughout Chinese history
  • Seamlessly links Confucius with our modern age, revealing how his teachings have managed to transcend Eastern philosophy and have influenced many of the great thinkers of the Enlightenment
