“Perhaps the most important concept in the Confucian system is ren, which refers to the idea that it is only through loving, faithful and respectful relationships with others that we become fully human.”

I wish the information shared about each philosopher followed a structured format. As someone trying to develop a better understanding of philosophy I hoped the author would focus on giving mini breakdowns of each philosophers views. I didn’t find consistency in the information shared on each philosopher; for some we learn birthplace, how they died, occupations, or books they have published. Hope I find out more.
