Great book by a great team

Learned a bunch about Confucius was not aware of, as well as gleaned a deep understanding of the context of the Analects and much of what it taught. Impressed half-way though.

The Best Book to Read on Confucius!

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2015

Originally published under the this title, and later reprinted under the title, Confucius and the Chinese Way (Harper Torchbooks, The Cloister Library, TB 63) , this is a thoughtful study (by one of the leading Sinologists of this century) of Confucius, his era, and the contemporary relevance of his thought. Any book this old (the original version was published in the 40's, I think) is a little out of date. And Creel sometimes succumbs to the temptation to read Confucius as a proto-Deweyan pragmatist-democrat. But Creel still has many insights into the teachings of "the Master," and gives an engaging (if speculative) portrait of his life. This is still the best book-length secondary study of Confucius I know of in English.

Confucius Uncluttered

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2007

My mother pointed out to me wheen i was a teenager that religion is inherently cruel, and that if I wanted an ethical system without cruelty, I would haved to develop one on my own. Over the years I ended up with a sort of basic Confucianism based on the five cardinal virtues--human-heartedness, righteousness, proper social conduct, wisdom and sincerity.

So I was pleased to learn that Creel had, in stripping Confucianism of centuries of accretion, got back to pretty much the same thing. Nothing mystical or other-worldly--just a basic system of social ethics that promises a life of productive contentment.

I regret that I came across this book too late to write Creel to thank him.
