The Essential Analects: Selected Passages With Traditional Commentary

The ideal edition for a survey course or a course in which the Analects is one of several works studied, this volume provides a representative selection from Slingerland's acclaimed translation of the full work, including passages covering all major themes. An appendix of selected traditional commentaries keyed to each passage provides access to the text and to its reception and interpretation. Also included are a concise general Introduction, bibliography, notes, and three additional appendices: Traditional Chinese Commentators Cited; Disciples of Confucius; and Glossary of Terms.
