His sayings, preserved and developed by generations of his followers, have shaped the cultural and political life of the world's most populous nation, and they continue to offer fresh insights for today's globalized society. This audiobook sets Confucius' life and teachings in the context of the long history of China, and examines the origins, meanings, and influence of one of history's most enduring philosophical traditions.
