Who this is

“In the most book-centered civilization on earth, one teacher stood up and said the books are commentary — on you. "The Six Classics are all my footnotes."”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 91

The big idea, in the book's words:

“The moral pattern of the universe is not something you must study your way toward — it is already complete in your own mind, waiting to be uncovered.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 91
