The Analects of Confucius: A Philosophical Translation

Henry Rosemont; Confucius; Roger T. Ames

Synopsis:
Confucius is recognized as China's first and greatest teacher, and his ideas have been the fertile soil in which the Chinese cultural tradition has flourished. Now here is a translation of the recorded thoughts and deeds that best preserve Confucius--informed for the first time by the manuscript version found at Dingzhou in 1973, a partial text dating to 55 B.C.E. and only made available to the scholarly world in 1997. The earliest ANALECTS yet discovered, this work provides us with a new perspective on the central canonical text that has defined Chinese culture--and clearly illuminates the spirit and mind-set of Confucius.
