Confucius is the most influential Chinese thinker in history; his teachings continue to shape the habits and beliefs of well over 1.6 billion people. As Michael Schuman explains, it is impossible to understand modern Asia without first engaging with the philosopher's vast legacy. Little is known about Confucius' life, but his core principles have survived to this day. He promoted filial piety, learnedness, and responsible government. He also promoted hierarchy, in families, business, and the public sphere. Today, this has resulted in strong family networks and education, but also autocratic government and inequality for women. Schuman reveals that although the arrival of Communism, capitalism, and democracy have not toppled Confucius from his central place in Asian culture, they have forced his followers to adapt his legacy to the modern world. Covering the past, present, and future of Confucius's impact, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand modern Asia.
