Distracting quotation voices
An otherwise good narration by Kingsley is dragged down
by the cutsy accented voices that read the quoted excerpts. Distracting, annoying and sometimes barely intelligible. The book is informative, but this may be one case where the text version is a better read than the audio. A further, admittedly nitpicky, complaint is that often only dates (years and centuries) are given to identify time periods, without reference to dynasties. In Chinese history, to understand the context of an event, one really needs to know the dynasty when it occurred.

loved it. Taoism is very interesting.
Taoism is very interesting and Confucius really had a great impact on the family structure and operations of the Asian culture and the modern effects can be seen to day through there work habits and educational standards.

Not Deep Enough for these Subjects
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. But only for those with some Chinese history background.
Would you recommend Confucianism and Taoism to your friends? Why or why not?
Good starting point to understand the interaction of these religions
Which scene was your favorite?
Not applicable. The discussion of early Taoism is fascinating.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. The material is way to deep and thought provoking for one sitting.
Any additional comments?
A good starting place to understand the original and progression of both religions. You should know a fair amount about Chinese history to appreciate this book although some superficial comparisons to Western religions and philosophies are included.

HISTORY, not practice of
Excellent narration, but I was looking for more in depth on the practice of Taoism and Confucianism.

I couldn’t get though it.
The information is probably very well researched and accurate. However, despite the very listenable voice of the main narrator the multiple voices (actors) in broken English are so distracting that it’s impossible to really absorb the content. Also, and this is pretty nit-picky, the recording clarity is so finely dialed in that the “mouth smack” was very prominent and drove me batty.

Not just read by Ben Kingsley
The story is well written but has more speakers than Ben Kingsley. I have hearing issues and some speakers do no clearly pronounce their words. Otherwise it is an excellent book for listening.

Great for anthropologists or studies
So as the title suggests...this would be a wonderful source of information for scholarly pursuits. However this is not my cup of tea. Entirely to much history and a little bit of philosophy. ( I’m a philosophy junkie) granted I did very much enjoy some parts and loved how they narrated it.

Super boring. Too much of a history lesson.
Finishing this book was a chore. If I hadn't already committed I would have quit.

Scholarly trash at its worst
Ben’s voice was excellent however the book itself was a confused and conflicting mess of scholarly thought and how everything must always be compared to abrahamic religions.
If you want to learn about Confucianism and Taoism, this is definitely not the book.
It ridiculed the notions and concepts and deliberately misunderstood, misinterpreted, and mistranslated many of the teachings.
The faux accents used to deliver quotes from earlier scholars were utterly disrespectful.
Awful.

Good
Great layman's introduction and summary of Confucianism and Taoism, but the terrible foreign fake Chinese accents make some parts difficult to follow and are not necessary.

Excellent audiobook. Sir Ben does a great job
at narrating this interest and insightful analysis of the philosophical differences between Confucius & Tao.
