ISBN10: 160520644X, ISBN13: 9781605206448, [publisher: Cosimo Classics] Hardcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Notable not only for its comprehensiveness but also for its inclusion of the Chinese pictograms, this complete text of the \*Analects\* of the greatest philosopher of Chinese history is a must-own volume for any student of Confucius (551BC-479 BC). From the disposition of a land's rulers to the value of prayer, the thoughts of Confucius have powerfully shaped the moral life and political structures of Asian nations, and influenced the direction of the Western world as well. Here, Legge offers an enlightening introduction to the \*Analects,\* copious notes that place the sayings in cultural context, and much more assistance for the lay reader in understanding the depth of Confucius' wisdom. This three-in-one volume, originally published in this form in 1893, also includes \*The Great Learning,\* the Confucian illustration of illustrious virtue, and \*The Doctrine of the Mean,\* the thinker's explication of the path of duty. Scottish scholar JAMES LEGGE (1815-1897) was the first professor of Chinese language and literature at Oxford University, serving from 1876 to 1897. Among his many books are The Life and Teaching of Confucius (1867), The Religions of China (1880), and the 50-volume Sacred Books of the East (1879-1891).
