CONFUCIUS AND HIS ANALECTS – NO TRUTH TO BE FOUND

Translated into western language, and read by western minds, the Analects of Confucius sound similar to the writings Plato attributed to Socrates.

But this is an illusion. A less than careful reading reveals that the origin of the sacred texts is indeed speaking of virtue, of fidelity, but not truth.

But… what good is the true, if not good for the commons?

Truth breaks the bias of familialism and renders all men kin.

The truth evolved in the west because it is more valuable than conformity.

This is why in both eras where the martial middle-class was sufficiently able to seize power, that innovation could continue.
