[close] Confucius is the most influential philosopher in history, and his teachings continue to shape the habits and beliefs of well over 1.6 billion people. As journalist 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, and he believed in hierarchy, whether in families, business, or the public sphere. Strong family networks and education have been one legacy of Confucianism, but also autocratic government and gender inequality. While the arrival of communism, capitalism, and democracy did not topple Confucius from his central place in Asian culture, these systems did force his followers to adapt his legacy to the modern world.

A combination of biography, philosophy, history, and current affairs, Confucius reveals the values at the heart of East Asian civilization.
