Confucius and the World He Created

Bertrand Russell once remarked that he didn't write about Confucius because he found the Chinese sage "boring." If Lord Russell had lived long enough to have read this book, he would definitely have changed his mind and gone out to buy a copy of the Analects. Russell was not a fan of non-systematic philosophers, being himself a mathematician and a man with a razor-sharp logical mind, thoroughly western in outlook.
