Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a translation of one of the four Confucian canonical texts, and it offers a deep exploration of the Confucian philosophy of life. It aims to guide readers toward the realization of "true moral being and moral order," which the author argues is the foundation of a thriving society. The book delves into the concept of the "moral law," which the author equates with the "law of our being," and explains that it is an inescapable force that governs all of existence. It further explores the "central clue" of moral being, a concept essential to attaining harmony with the universal order, and discusses the dangers of both excessive idealism and a lack of moral consciousness. The author draws parallels between the Confucian worldview and the teachings of great minds from other cultures, including Shakespeare and Goethe, highlighting the universal relevance of the book's core principles. He then applies these principles to the practical matters of social order, leadership, and government. The book asserts that good government ultimately relies on the ruler's moral character, and that true lial piety requires carrying on the legacy of one's ancestors. The author weaves together ideas from ancient Chinese texts with reflections on the human condition and the natural world, culminating in an understanding of the divine moral law as the driving force behind all creation. By offering a nuanced and accessible exploration of these profound principles, the book invites readers to embark on a journey toward a more meaningful and harmonious life.
