Description
The Analects of Owc by Confucius is a foundational text that has shaped the civilization of its country for millennia. This collection of sayings and teachings, compiled from the Master Kong's own words and those of his disciples, remains remarkably relevant today. A lively new translation, accompanied by explanatory notes, provides an ideal introduction to this influential work for readers unfamiliar with classical Chinese philosophy. The Analects offers a unique window into the social, ethical, and intellectual system that has endured for centuries. For over 100 years, Oxford World's Classics has made available a broad spectrum of literature from around the globe, providing accurate texts, expert introductions, and valuable features to support further study.
