In this book, Mark Csikszentmihalyi tells the story of the life and thought of the Chinese thinker by exploring Confucius as a ritual prodigy, moral educator, scholar, and political draftsman. He also considers how Confucius has been used as a symbol for traditional Chinese culture in modern times--by those who want to radically reform or destroy it and by those who seek to preserve or revive it. \u003ci\u003eConfucius \u003c\/i\u003eprovides an insightful, accessible, and concise account of a key figure in East Asian thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Csikszentmihalyi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836390114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836390114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Mark Csikszentmihalyi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443003568383,"sku":"9781836390114","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59ec2715-29bf-4444-a268-e480460e5d20.jpg?v=1777201204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confucius-mark-csikszentmihalyi-9781836390114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
