Confucius
A teacher, thinker, and philosopher, Confucius (c. 551-479 BC) was born in the Chinese state of Lu (now part of Shandong province). His lifelong teachings of filial duty, benevolence, morality, and sincerity developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism, which has deeply influenced Eastern philosophies ever since.
W. E. Soothill (1861-1935) traveled to China as a missionary before becoming Professor of Chinese at Oxford University. His superb translation of The Analects, first published in 1910, presents a faithful and coherent text for both the general reader and the specialist.
Editor John Baldock trained as a painter and art historian. While living in France, he studied the symbolism of medieval cathedrals, which inspired an exploration of the universal truths that lie at the heart of the world’s spiritual traditions. His published books include The Elements of Christian Symbolism, The Essence of Sufism, and The Essence of Rumi.
