About The Book
This revised edition of the works of Confucius offers the complete text of the Analects along with a full English translation by the renowned Sinologist James Legge, considered the definitive English version. Confucius' thought has shaped over two millennia of Chinese civilization, and his influence extends far beyond China, deeply impacting European Enlightenment thinkers. The edition includes not only the Analects but also The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean.
In addition to the core texts, readers are provided with an extensive introduction covering the history of the texts, the life and legacy of Confucius, and the essential Chinese classics. There are also over 125 pages of commentary, including notes on the textual studies, interpretations, disputed meanings, and a complete dictionary of Chinese characters used in the book. Subject and name indexes make it easy to locate specific content, making this work a comprehensive resource for anyone studying Confucian thought and its global influence.
