Confucius 551-479 BC , though of noble descent, was born in humble circumstances. He believed that politics is only an extension of morals, and spent ten years travelling through the various states of China spreading his ideas. When he realised that there was no way of converting the feudal rulers to his way of thinking he returned to Lu and spent the rest of his life there teaching his pupils. D.C Lau has held a number of professorships in the field of Chinese language and literature.
"For more than two millennia, the teachings of Confucius have
served as a guide for a substantial portion of humanity.
English-language readers seeking to understand this remarkable body
of thought are fortunate to have Annping Chin's highly readable and
judiciously annotated edition of The Analects." -Henry A.
Kissinger
"An astonishingly lucid exposition of The Analects. A kind
of serene insight pervades the commentaries." -Harold
Bloom
"An incomparable new volume that combines a fresh and sympathetic
translation with a wonderfully readable annotation. It is a joy to
use and will unlock a whole new level of meaning for
English-language readers." -Orville Schell, Director of the
Center on U.S.-China Relations and co-author of Wealth and
Power: China's Long March to the Twenty-First Century
