The Analects by Confucius

The Analects by Confucius

The Analects is not a treatise. It is a collection of remarks, questions from students, and small scenes — what Confucius said when a stable burned down, how he behaved at court, what he thought of a disciple who slept in the afternoon.

Out of these fragments comes a whole ethical system: ren, the humaneness that cannot be defined but can be recognised; li, the rituals that make social life possible; and the insistence that government is a moral question before it is an administrative one. Nearly every later Chinese thinker is arguing with this book.

One of the most influential texts ever written, in a clear modern translation with notes.
