Outline of Confucian Thought.
520 The Analects, or Lun Yu, represents the primary surviving
source for the teachings of Confucius, the most
influential sage in human history. The book's defining
characteristic is its form -- brief aphoristic fragments,
each appearing with little supporting context.
520 8 Many of the book's fragments are assumed to represent the
Master's teachings, handed down accurately by his
disciples. Other parts of the text may be apocryphal.
Regardless, the Analects represents, as a matter of
historical fact, the fundamental body of thought that has
shaped Chinese civilization for more than two thousand
years. It may easily be argued that these texts have had a
deeper impact on more people's lives over a longer period
of time than any other book in human history.
520 8 Through his practice of self-cultivation, Confucius became
a great sage and devoted himself passionately to the
public good, in spite of hunger, homelessness, and
violence. His innovative social philosophy -- occupied
with the practical issues of how society works as a
selfless weave of caring relationships -- remains
remarkably current today.
520 8 The Analects has been translated many times -- by Ezra
Pound, Arthur Waley, Lin Yutang, Raymond Dawson, D.C. Lau,
and most recently Simon Leys -- and the translations vary
widely in style and substance. Waley's Analects,
translated in 1938, has dominated the academic marketplace
but today seems dated. Hinton's translation breathes new
life into Confucius's majestic vision of the human
community nestled in the primal ecology of a harmonious
cosmos.
