A fresh translation of one of the most recognized texts of the
premodern world: The Analects is a must-read for those interested
in China's past, present, and future. This new translation by
renowned East Asian scholar Moss Roberts offers a fresh
interpretation of this classic work, sharpening and clarifying
Confucius's positions on ethics, politics, and social organization.
While no new edition of The Analects will wholly transform our
understanding of Confucius's teachings, Roberts's translation
attends to the many nuances in the text that are often overlooked,
allowing readers a richer understanding of Confucius' historic and
heroic attempt to restore order and morality to government. This
edition features a critical introduction by the translator as well
as notes on key terms and historical figures, a topical index, and
suggestions for further reading in recent English and Chinese
scholarship to extend the rich contextual background of the
translation. This ambitious new edition of The Analects will
enhance the understanding of specialists and newcomers to Confucius
alike.
