[Turt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Decent introduction to Confucianism. Different articles from different books, so except a mixture of writing styles and depth/lack of depth on a topic.

[John Hales · Rating 4 out of 5]

Any religion or philosophy for successful living worth its salt will contain elements of Confucianism. For example: "The value of doing what you ought to do lies in the doing itself, and not in the external result."
