The Analects express a philosophy, or a moral code, by which the author, one of the most humane thinkers, believed everyone should live. Upholding the ideals of wisdom, self-knowledge, courage and love of one's fellow man, this title argues that the pursuit of virtue should be every individual's supreme goal.
