“Book Descriptions: Paul Strathern's little book on Confucius is one of the most cursory in his series of "90-Minute" texts on the great philosophers of history--but then, there really isn't that much known about Confucius's life that Strathern could discuss. Circumstances being what they are, we get a brief biographical sketch and a rough outline of the Chinese sage's principles, as well as a useful guide to the differences between Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. But Confucius in 90 Minutes is probably best left to the Strathern completists; those seeking an introduction to Confucianism might more profitably peruse Confucius Speaks.”
