- Summary:
- "A bold, innovative, and inviting translation of one of the most influential texts in human history. The Analects of Confucius has been the bedrock of Chinese culture for over 2,500 years, shaping the trajectory of human history in ways unmatched by nearly any other secular philosophy. But until now, translations of this compendium of Confucian wisdom have forced women half of humanity into the philosophical background. Renowned scholar Erin M. Cline boldly challenges this legacy, breathing new life into this monumental work with afresh and accessible translation, presenting not only an innovative thematic structure but also a vital reinterpretation for modern readers. By employing gender-neutral language throughout, guided by the text itself, Cline dismantles patriarchal misinterpretations of the Analects, and in the process reveals a Confucius who speaks to everyone. This groundbreaking edition will redefine Confucian thought for a new generation of readers in English."-- Provided by publisher.
