Excerpt
Excerpt: Eminent teacher, philosopher and political theorist, and founder of its feudal system of education, Confucius is one of Ancient China?s most famous figures, a man whose practical experience and deep thinking on the subject have left their mark on educational development in his own country and elsewhere. Revered in antiquity as the ?Supreme Sage? and the ?Model for Ten Thousand Generations?, Confucius now enjoys universal acclaim; his remarkable and lasting contribution to teaching and education has ensured him a place in history, as well as in culture, in China and beyond. The influence of his pedagogy remains perceptible today. Recent years have seen a renewal of interest in Confucius, as scholars ask themselves whether his ideas have withstood the test of time.
