Of the three main teachings in Chinese culture, Confucianism has
exerted the most profound and lasting influence in China.While
Confucianism (a term coined by Westerners) refers to a tradition
(Ruism) that predated Confucius, it is most closely associated with
Confucius (551-479 BCE), who determined its later development.
Confucius' ideas are reflected in his conversations with students,
mostly recorded in the Analects. However, this book also brings
into discussion those sayings of Confucius that are recorded in
other texts, greatly expanding our perspective of the original
Confucius. Scholars in the past, unsure about the authenticity of
such sayings, have been reluctant to use them in discussing
Confucius' view. However, recent archaeological findings have shown
that at least some of them are reliable. Confucius: A Guide for the
Perplexed is a clear and thorough account of authentic Confucius
and his ideas, underscoring his contemporary relevance, not only to
Chinese people but also to people in the West.
