Confucius did not regard himself as an innovator, but as the conservator of ancient truth and ceremonial propriety. He dealt with neither theology nor metaphysics, but with moral and political conduct. The Lun Yu, Analects or Sayings of Confucius, were probably compiled, says Legge, "by the disciples of the disciples of the sage, making free use of the written memorials concerning him which they had received, and the oral statements which they had heard, from their several masters. And we shall not be far wrong, if we determine its date as about the beginning of the third, or the end of the fourth century before Christ."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great translation!
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2010
Verified Purchase
The biggest thing with this translation is the readability factor. Simon Leys did a good job putting it in a way that was easy to read and understand. Although the Analects is only the first half the book. The second half are all the notes that talk about the translation, who this person was, what this reference means in the cultural context, ect. That way if you get curious, you can check on your own.

All-in-all, It's a great translation for beginners and good translation for intermediate readers of Confucius. If your looking for more of a direct scholarly based translation, look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book is Missing Pages 33-40
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2011
Verified Purchase
I received this book yesterday as it is required reading for a college course I'm taking. I just realized that pages 33-40 are missing. They are not torn out, they are just not there. This book seems to be in new condition otherwise, and I believed it was new when I bought it. I'm thinking it may have been a printing problem. Extremely disappointing.
