Confucius (c. 551-479 bc), also known as Kong Fuzi, is regarded as one of the foundational figures in Chinese civilization. His ideas not only gained immense popularity in China but also had a profound influence on the world, and played a key role in shaping the intellectual climate of the eighteenth-century French Revolution and the Enlightenment. While Buddhism, brought to China by Indian scholars, became widely influential in the Chinese world and spread globally, Confucius's works remained largely unknown in the Indian subcontinent. Despite India being a melting pot of diverse cultures, there were hardly any Sanskrit, Pali, or Prakrit texts, or medieval Indian works, which referenced Confucius. It wasn't until the colonial and post-colonial periods that he was notably mentioned in Indian intellectual circles. Furthermore, no direct translations of Confucius's works reached India during earlier periods. In this book, the author introduces Confucius and his teachings from an Indic perspective, offering a commentary on his key works: The Analects, The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, and the writings of Mencius. This edition reinterprets certain terms in the English translations of these classical Chinese texts, providing fresh insights. This work is highly recommended for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in Confucius's philosophy, as well as for those studying classical Chinese, East Asian, and comparative studies.
