Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The first translation of the work of China's first and greatest philosopher to make use of a manuscript discovered in 1973--the earliest version yet discovered--includes both Chinese and English texts and an introduction by two scholars.

Nota de la solapa:

etly persevere in storing up what is learned, to continue studying without respite, to instruct others without growing weary-- is this not me?"
--Confucius

Confucius is recognized as China's first and greatest teacher, and his ideas have been the fertile soil in which the Chinese cultural tradition has flourished. If influence is determined by the number of people who have lived and died in accordance with a philosopher's vision, Confucius is perhaps the most influential thinker in human history.

Now, here is a translation of the recorded thoughts and deeds that best remember Confucius--informed for the first time by the manuscript version found at Dingzhou in 1973, a partial text dating to 55 BCE and only made available to the scholarly world in 1997. The earliest Analects yet discovered, this work provides us with a new perspective on the central canonical text that has defined Chinese culture--and clearly illuminates the spirit and mindset of Confucius.
