China's two greatest philosophers, Confucius and Lao Tzu, were intensely interested in
how we should live and how a good society is governed. The central concepts of Confucianism are
li, the proper ordering of society through rituals and ceremonies, and zhen, the proper
ordering of the self through humaneness, benevolence, and love. Daoism, taught under such masters
as Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, meditates on the interdependence of opposites and teaches the path of
non-resistance. Westerners are only now beginning to understand the central importance of the tradition
and community emphasized in Chinese thought for over two thousand years.

The World of Philosophy series is a dramatic presentation, in understandable language, of the concerns,
questions, interests, and overall outlook of the world's great philosophers and philosophical traditions.
Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living
a better life.

Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly.
