Notable not only for its comprehensiveness but also for its
inclusion of the Chinese pictograms, this complete text of the
*Analects* of the greatest philosopher of Chinese history is a
must-own volume for any student of Confucius (551Bi479 Be. From the
disposition of a land's rulers to the value of prayer, the thoughts
of Confucius have powerfully shaped the moral life and political
structures of Asian nations, and influenced the direction of the
Western world as well. Here, Legge offers an enlightening
introduction to the *Analects,* copious notes that place the
sayings in cultural context, and much more assistance for the lay
reader in understanding the depth of Confucius' wisdom. This
three-in-one volume, originally published in this form in 1893,
also includes *The Great Learning,* the Confucian illustration of
illustrious virtue, and *The Doctrine of the Mean,* the thinker's
explication of the path of duty. Scottish scholar JAMES LEGGE
(1815-1897) was the first professor of Chinese language and
literature at Oxford University, serving from 1876 to 1897. Among
his many books are The Life and Teaching of Confucius (1867), The
Religions of China (1880), and the 50-volume Sacred Books of the
East (1879-1891).
