Confucius, the Analects and Western Education

Frank Flanagan explores the significance for western liberal/democratic educational systems of the philosophy of Confucius. He presents the central elements of Confucius' approach to education and government through an account of the biography of Confucius, an analysis of Analects, and an evaluation of the Confucian tradition through selected contemporary critical accounts. He assesses the value that the Confucian tradition has for the educational systems of advanced industrialised countries in the 21st century.Flanagan, Frank M. is the author of 'Confucius, the Analects and Western Education', published 2011 under ISBN 9780826499301 and ISBN 0826499309.
