Book synopsis

This Norton Critical Edition situates the historical figure of Kongzi, the legendary figure of Confucius and The Analects (or Lunyu) within their evolving ethical, cultural and political contexts. Simon Leys's acclaimed translation and notes are accompanied by Michael Nylan's insightful introduction. Eleven essays by experts in the field of Chinese studies discuss a broad range of issues relating to The Analects, from the origins of the classicists (Ru) and the formation of The Analects text to the use of the Master's iconic image in various twentieth-and twenty-first-century settings. Collectively, these readings suggest that the Confucius we thought we knew is not the Kongzi of record and that this Kongzi is a protean figure given to rapid change and continual re-evaluation.
