The volume will also include a general introduction and a bibliography on English - language works on Confucius. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Confucius is one of the most influential figures--as historical individual and as symbol--in world history; and the Analects, the sayings attributed to Confucius and his disciples, is a classic of world literature. Nonetheless, how to understand both figure and text is constantly under dispute. Surprisingly, this volume is the first and only anthology on these topics in English. Here, contributors apply a variety of different methodologies (includingphilosophical, phililogical, and religious) and address a number of important topics, from Confucius and Western "virtue ethics" to Confucius attitude toward women to the historical composition of the text of theAnalects. Scholars will appreciate the rigor of these essays, while students and beginners will find them accessible and engaging. Author Biography Bryan W.
