The "Zhongyong" - translated here as "Focusing the Familiar" has
been regarded as a document of enormous wisdom for more than two
millennia and is one of Confucianism's most sacred and seminal
texts. It achieved truly canonical preeminence when it became one
of the Four Books compiled and annotated by the Southern Song
dynasty philosopher Zhu Xi (1130-1200). Within the compass of world
literature, the influence of these books (Analects of Confucius,
Great Learning, Zhongyong, and Mencius) on the Sinitic world of
East Asia has been no less than the Bible and the Qu'ran on Western
civilization. With this translation David Hall and Roger Ames seek
to provide a distinctly philosophical interpretation of the
Zhongyong, remaining attentive to the semantic and conceptual
nuances of the text to account for its central place within
classical Chinese literature. They present the text in such a way
as to provide Western philosophers and other intellectuals access
to a set of interpretations and arguments that offer insights into
issues and concerns common to both Chinese and Western thinkers.
