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.
