- Confucius and Socrates: The Teaching of Wisdom
- http://www.san.beck.org/C%26S-Contents.html
- A very lengthy treatise on the teaching methodology of the two philosophers. “Since the purpose here is to study the pedagogy of Confucius and Socrates, their philosophies will only be discussed in relation to how and what they taught. For this reason also the scope of this can not go into elaborate detail and analyses of their philosophical positions. The main contribution intended here is to the field of education rather than philosophy, and there is a much greater need for an educational study since so many philosophical ones have already been done.”
