The Analects is a collection of twenty books that contain valuable quotes and sayings from the Chinese philosopher Confucius, as well as his disciples. Unlike most previous scholarship, it does not take the traditional view of the Analects’ origins as given. The Analects contains the humanist (Ren) teachings and ideals (dao) of Confucius, who lived some twenty-five hundred years ago, shortly before Socrates.


Edited by Michael Hunter and Martin Kern and featuring contributions by preeminent scholars of early China, Confucius and the Analects Revisited: New Perspectives on Composition, Dating, and Authorship critically examines the long-standing debates surrounding the history of the Analects, for two millennia considered the most authoritative source of the teachings of Confucius (551–479 BCE).
