'A clear and thoughtful introduction to Confucian thought, Frank Flanagan's Confucius, the Analects and Western Education is long overdue. Emphasizing the conservative priorities of family and ethics over competing values of justice, law, and even truth, Confucius has represented for millennia a way of thinking, learning, and living that we do well to understand. Here's a place to start.' Keith W. Schlegel, Professor Emeritus of English, Frostburg State University, Maryland, USA
