The study presents a critical account of Confucius' life and undertakes a thorough analysis of his works and writings. Rather than the more usual examination of Confucius' teachings, the book examines the character and behaviour of the man himself, placed into contrast with the values he expresses in his works. For students and researchers in Chinese studies, The Ethics of Confucius will offer a fresh perspective on the life and character of a man whose writings have been very influential in China and the wider world, for the last two thousand years.

The fundamental rule of Confucianism is: Do not desire for others what you do not want for yourself. In this book, Confucius recommends fleeing from excess of loquacity and preaches the habit of benevolence, tolerance, and humility.

La regla fundamental del confucionismo es: No desees para otros lo que no desees para ti. Confucio recomienda huir del exceso de locuacidad, y predica el hábito de la benevolencia, la tolerancia y la humildad, la práctica de la compasión, la discreción y el respeto mutuo, y la puesta en marcha de la armonía social, el culto a los antepasados y el cumplimiento del deber. La filosofía política de Confucio señala que el gobernante debe tener autodisciplina, ser virtuoso, justo y sabio, para gobernar a sus súbditos según su ejemplo, y siempre tratarlos con amor.

Spirituality meets science as two of the greatest minds of our time come together to discuss essential issues of good and evil, thought and consciousness, and the nature of existence.The Ending of Time presents the fascinating conversations between two men from vastly different worlds: revered philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti and renowned physicist David Bohm. Through deep exploration of the brain vs. the mind, the significance of death, and an individual's relationship to society, they debate the root of human conflict and what we can do about it. Revolutionary insights throughout these discussions reveal the potential for the ending of time to bring about a new beginning for humanity.

En krans av sitater - et blikk på de 64 heksagrammene i I'Ching Meditasjoner over menneskenaturens arketyper, kalender over årets gang, utvalg og kommentarer av T. E. Holthe«I'Ching - The Book of Changes», en av de eldste kinesiske bøkene, har i generasjoner blitt brukt som veiledning i livet. "I'Ching" består av 64 heksagrammer eller arketyper. Det er en direkte kobling mellom heksagrammene og det menneskelige DNA, som er forklart i «Et nytt blikk på menneskenaturen - oppslagsbok over Human Design og den indre veven», også av T. E. Holthe.Et heksagram består av 6 linjer eller 6 stadier i utfoldelsen av arketypen. Både arketypene og deres veier sees i et Human Design perspektiv. Hvert av de 64 heksagrammene er beskrevet med tre korte dikt i haiku-tradisjonen. I disse diktene ser Holthe på de menneskelige arketypene, og for å utdype det, er det valgt ut fire sitater av mennesker fra forskjellige tider og steder. Ifølge Human Design er det en direkte sammenheng mellom Zodiaken og de 64 heksagrammene. Det gjør at man kan følge arketypenes endringer i løpet av året, og boken avsluttes med en kalender som viser hvilket heksagram som gjør seg gjeldende fra dag til dag.Måtte denne samlingen av sitater vekke din interesse for denne visdomsskatten fra Kina.

Confucianism is the guiding creed for a quarter of mankind, yet hardly anyone has explained it in plain terms until now. Written in a style both intelligible and enjoyable for the global audience, The Great Equal Society distils the core ideas of the major Confucian classics and shows how their timeless wisdom can be applied to the modern world. It also introduces pragmatic suggestions emanating from Confucius and his followers for ensuring good governance, building a humane economy and educating moral leaders. The book's core message of inner morality, first expounded by Confucius millennia ago, will resonate on both sides of the Pacific, and its sweeping survey of the hot topics today dysfunctional government, crony capitalism, and the erosion of ethics in both Wall Street and Main Street, among others will breathe new life to Confucian teachings while providing much-needed answers to our urgent social problems. The Great Equal Society is written by Young-oak Kim, a Korean thinker whom Wikipedia describes as "the nation's leading philosopher dealing with public issues and explaining Oriental philosophy to the public," and Jung-kyu Kim, a talented trilingual writer who has published works in English, Japanese and Korean.

In 1989, Bill Porter, having spent much of his life studying and translating Chinese religious and philosophical texts, began to wonder if the Buddhist hermit tradition still existed in China. At the time, it was believed that the Cultural Revolution had dealt a lethal blow to all religions in China, destroying countless temples and shrines, and forcibly returning thousands of monks and nuns to a lay life. But when Porter travels to the Chungnan mountains -- the historical refuge of ancient hermits -- he discovers that the hermit tradition is very much alive, as dozens of monks and nuns continue to lead solitary lives in quiet contemplation of their faith deep in the mountains. Part travelogue, part history, part sociology, and part religious study, this record of extraordinary journeys to an unknown China sheds light on a phenomenon unparalleled in the West. Porter's discovery is more than a revelation, and uncovers the glimmer of hope for the future of religion in China.
