When this classic volume was originally published in 1951, this volume was a new interpretation of the philosophy of one of the most influential Chinese thinkers. Twentieth century understanding of Confucius’ thought was often based on the interpretations of commentaries which reflect a period three centuries later than that of Confucius. Originally published in 1932, and therefore inevitably of its time, this book discusses the place of the intellect as a guide to religious truth. The author's work brought principles from Quaker decision-making to bear on wider questions about democracy and religion. The author affirms that the ‘Light Within’, although a personal endowment is not independent of the historical fact that spiritual geniuses in bygone ages have seen and testified and lived.
