Omschrijving
A cornerstone of moral philosophy and statecraft for over two millennia, the Sayings of Confucius (the Analects) preserves the teachings of China’s most influential thinker. Unlike abstract philosophical treatises, these conversations and aphorisms present a vivid portrait of Confucius himself: a man devoted to learning, ritual, and the tireless cultivation of virtue in a world torn by disorder.
This edition presents Leonard A. Lyall’s crisp, lucid translation, prized for its clarity and directness. It renders Confucius’s core concepts—ren (love, human-heartedness), li (courtesy, ritual propriety), xiao (filial piety), and the figure of the junzi (the gentleman)—in language that remains both accessible and faithful to the spirit of the original.
Beyond the translated text, this volume provides a rich scholarly apparatus:
A substantial Introduction tracing Confucius’s life, his wanderings among the warring states, and the historical context of the Zhou dynasty’s decline.
Footnotes throughout the text, now collected at the end of the volume, clarifying historical figures, allusions, and key terms.
A comprehensive Index of names, places, and concepts.
For the student of philosophy, the historian of China, or the general reader seeking practical wisdom, this edition of the Sayings offers an authoritative and elegantly presented guide to a body of thought that continues to shape East Asia and inspire the world.
