Few individuals have shaped their country's civilization more
profoundly than the Master Kong (Confucius, 551-479 BC). Compulsory
reading in the late Imperial period for all who wished to enter the
Civil Service or Government, his sayings and those of his disciples
form the foundation of a distinct social, ethical, and intellectual
system. They have retained their freshness and vigour throughout
the two and a half millennia of their currency, and are still
admired even in today's China. This lively new translation with
clear explanatory notes by one of the foremost scholars of
classical Chinese provides the ideal introduction to the Analects
for readers who have no previous knowledge of the Chinese language
and philosophical traditions. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years
Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of
literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects
Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate
text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert
introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the
text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
