The Analects of Confucius

About The Book

The complete twenty books of philosophic discussion by the superb Chinese sage Confucius are presented here anew. Originally these sayings and conversations were penned during the Warring States period of Chinese antiquity. The subjects range from wise behavior in times of crisis to instruction upon how to live a peaceful life characterized by serenity humility and good work. The importance of family life and community cooperation are alluded to offering insight into the mores and customs of ancient China. The politics of the time rife with infighting between noble families and dukedoms attract consideration of Confucius and his companions. To better illustrate his points examples and analogies are readily offered by Confucius who engages with other philosophers through the course of the twenty named books comprising the core text. This edition's translator is James Legge a Scottish Sinologist who spent his lifetime in China translating the philosophical and artistic classics.
