Le nom de Confucius nous est familier. Mais que savons-nous réellement de lui ? Qui était-il ? Quelle fut sa vie ? Et dans quelle mesure son époque a-t-elle façonné sa philosophie, encore vivante aujourd’hui ? Raconter son histoire, c’est également retracer celle de la Chine tout entière : si le philosophe est mort en 499 av. J.-C., c'est seulement plusieurs siècles après que sa doctrine a revêtu une telle importance, faisant de lui un personnage historique fondamental. Influencés par la période mouvementée qui l’a vu naître, ses enseignements abordent tous les éléments essentiels de la vie humaine – les notions de famille et d’amitié, de bon gouvernement et d’éducation, et celle du conflit entre désir individuel et responsabilité sociale. Une philosophie adoptée par les empereurs chinois autour de 100 av. J.-C., puis conservée à travers les siècles comme pilier de la culture et de l'éducation chinoises..
