The impact of this work on Eastern philosophy cannot be overstated, as it stands to this day as one of the most important philosophical works from ancient times.
Confucius believed that the welfare of a nation depended upon the moral character of its people, and that the cultivation of this character began by a devotion to the well-being of others, starting with one\'s immediate family.
The "Analects" or "Sayings of Confucius," is the classic collection of his teachings compiled by his disciples over several centuries following his death.
He dealt with neither theology nor metaphysics, but with moral and political conduct.
Confucius did not regard himself as an innovator, but as the conservator of ancient truth and ceremonial propriety.
