This carefully crafted ebook: "Doctrine of The Mean (or How to Achieve Equilibrium)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. In the The Doctrine of the Mean, one of the writings attributed to Confucius, many of the central doctrines of Confucianism are elaborated. The characteristic of jen is articulated in terms of a cluster of related moral terms including the Five Relationships, the principle of reciprocity (the Golden Rule), and various forms of virtue. The heart of Confucianism is explained here as the adoption of the policies of inculcating virtue in people by the example of tradition and the jen of the superior person.

This carefully crafted ebook: "Classic The Analects (The Revised James Legge Translation)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This book is the revised James Legge translation which has been extensively reworked and restored compared to the freely available Legge translations. The Analects, also known as the Analects of Confucius, is the collection of sayings and ideas attributed to the Chinese philosopher Confucius and his contemporaries, traditionally believed to have been written by Confucius' followers. It is believed to have been written during the Warring States period (475 BC-221 BC), and it achieved its final form during the mid-Han dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). By the early Han dynasty the Analects was considered merely a "commentary" on the Five Classics, but the status of the Analects grew to be one of the central texts of Confucianism by the end of that dynasty. During the late Song dynasty (960-1279) the importance of the Analects as a philosophy work was raised above that of the older Five Classics, and it was recognized as one of the "Four Books". The Analects has been one of the most widely read and studied books in China for the last 2,000 years, and continues to have a substantial influence on Chinese and East Asian thought and values today. Confucius (551-479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Great Learning (A short Confucian text + Commentary by Tsang)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Great Learning was one of the "Four Books" in Confucianism. The Great Learning had come from a chapter in the Classic of Rites which formed one of the Five Classics. It consists of a short main text attributed to the teachings of Confucius and then ten commentary chapters accredited to one of Confucius' disciples, Zengzi. The ideals of the book were supposedly Confucius's; however the text was written after his death. The "Four Books" were selected by the neo-Confucian Zhu Xi during the Song Dynasty as a foundational introduction to Confucianism and examinations for the state civil service in China. Confucius (551-479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Great Learning (Unabridged)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known as Confucianism. Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the Chinese classic texts including all of the Five Classics, but modern scholars are cautious of attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects, but only many years after his death. Confucius's principles had a basis in common Chinese tradition and belief. He championed strong family loyalty, ancestor worship, respect of elders by their children of husbands by their wives. He also recommended family as a basis for ideal government. He espoused the well-known principle "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself", an early version of the Golden Rule. Confucius (551-479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.

IOn peut dire que Confucius est le personnage historique qui a le plus marqué la civilisation chinoise. Maître Kong, ou Kong Fuzi, latinisé plus tard en « Confucius » par les Jésuites, le philosophe chinois naît en 551 avant J.-C. à Zou dans une province du Nord-Est de son pays, à400 km de Pékin. Issu d'une famille de guerriers - son arrière-grand.père a été ministre de la guerre - il est le premier homme de sa lignée à ne pas vouloir prendre les armes. Il préfère de loin la connaissance et devient précepteur à 17 ans. Attiré par la poli.tique, considérant que c'est véritablement par la gestion de la société que l'on peut au mieux vivre en paix et en responsabilité, il est magistrat et même ministre de la Justice pendant quatre ans.Après 12 ans d'exil à cause de ses idées poli.tiques, il revient s'installer dans sa ville de naissance oil enseigne jusqu'à la fin de sa vie.Fondateur du confucianisme, une doctrine poli.tique et sociale érigée en religion, qui a influencé toutes les civilisations d'Extrême-Orient (principalement la Chine) de son époque jusqu'à aujourd'hui, Confucius croit fermement en la capa.cité de l'homme ordinaire de modifier son destin. Dans ce livre, le choix a été fait de présenter un maximum d'aphorismes du philosophe sur : la condition humaine, la justice et la vertu, la joie et le bonheur, la connaissance et les études, la relation aux autres et la famille, principalement piochés dans ses écrits : le Livre des sentences, L'invariable milieu et ses célèbres Entretiens. 

L'ex-lieutenant de l'East India Company et aventurier James Brooke annexe la région de Sarawak au nord de Bornéo en 1839. À la tête de cet éden menacé par les pirates malais et les intérêts supérieurs de la Couronne, il fonde la dynastie des Rajahs blancs qui perdurera un siècle. Lui succéderont Charles Brooke, bâtisseur douteux, puis son neveu Vyner, hédoniste irresponsable, secondés par une galerie de femmes entraînées malgré elles dans d'obscurs jeux de pouvoir. À partir d'un épisode méconnu de la colonisation britannique, ce roman historique captivant recrée un tumultueux et exotique théâtre de l'humanité : une chasse à la chimère où se mêlent désir d'ailleurs et volonté de puissance. Loin de la verve sadienne de ses précédents succès, Gabrielle Wittkop pénètre les arcanes d'une utopie impériale insensée et offre avec Les rajahs blancs une saga en apparence moins dérangeante, mais d'une cruelle lucidité.

Les Analectes Une édition remarquable des Entretiens de Confucius, aussi connus sous le nom d'Analectes, une compilation de discours de Confucius (551-479 av. J.-C.) et de ses disciples ainsi que de discussions entre eux.

Les trois sages asiatiques : Confucius, Lao Tseu, Bouddha

La pensée de Confucius est si forte qu'elle domina la vie intellectuelle de la Chine ancienne pendant des siècles, allant jusqu'à constituer une véritable religion, le confucianisme. Lao-tsu (Laozi, Lao-tzu, ou Lao Tseu) est l'auteur du Tao Te Ching (Livre de la Voie et de la Vertu), et fut le père fondateur du taoïsme. C'est à lui qu'on doit le sens des équilibres yin et yang, le principe du non-agir, et l'idée du Tao, à l'origine de toutes choses. Siddharta Gautama était né prince ; dégoûté des illusions matérielles, il parcourut un temps le chemin de l'ascétisme, avant de se rendre compte que la négation du corps n'était qu'une autre des illusions de la conscience. C'est alors qu'il atteint l'éveil, ce qui lui valut son surnom de Bouddha, "l'Eveillé" ; il devait ensuite mettre sa sagesse en enseignements. Ensemble, ce sont les trois figures fondamentales de la pensée chinoise, terre de sagesse et d'éveil ; leurs enseignements ont été rassemblés sous forme de citations, cent par auteur, pour se les approprier avec efficacité sur le chemin du développement personnel.

Confucius fut avant tout un maître, et toute sa pensée tient dans son enseignement. Au commencement, il y a "l'apprendre", le tout premier mot des Entretiens, dont la place centrale qu'il occupe chez Confucius correspond à sa conviction intime que la nature humaine est éminemment perfectible : l'homme - tout homme - se définit comme un être capable de s'améliorer, de se perfectionner à l'infini.
