The Analects of Confucius offer deep reflections and explicit messages about ethics, morals, social order, governance and rituals that should govern the world.

Few philosophers have influenced both the idiosyncrasy of a people like Confucius, who could be said to have coined the cultural identity of the Chinese nation. His most important work is his Analects, whose central thesis is based on Benevolence, which is "love of neighbor" and "loyalty and tolerance." Likewise, his work reflects the political ideals of the Master, who always defended "governing by virtue" against despotism and, as a great pedagogue, advocated "imparting education without differentiation of socioeconomic conditions".

The teachings of Confucius, however, exceed the limits of metaphysics to extend to literature, scholarship, politics, religion, pedagogy and ethics. Perhaps precisely because of this peculiarity, their reasoning, advice, morals, anecdotes and instructions, as well as their reflections, contained all of them, in the Analects are still valid.
