Confucius and the Analects: New Essays 1st Edition by Bryan W. Van Norden (PDF)

Description

Surprisingly, this volume is the first and only anthology to address the worldwide influence of Confucius and the Analects in English. Here, contributors apply a variety of different methodologies (including philosophical, phililogical, and religious) and address a number of important topics, from Confucius and Western “virtue ethics” to Confucius’ attitude toward women to the historical composition of the text of the Analects. Scholars will appreciate the rigor of these essays, while students and beginners will find them accessible and engaging.

⭐A great collection of essays. I learned a lot. My favorite essays were: (2) Naturalness revisited: why westerners should study Confucius, (3) Ren and Li in the Analects, (4) “What does Heaven Say?”, (6) Whose Confucious? Which Analects? (7) Confucius and the Analects in the Han, (9) Unweaving the “one thread” of the Analects 4:15, and (10) An existentialist reading of book 4 of the Analects. I highly recommend it.The other book reviewer asked rhetorically, “why does Confucius continute to be a source of fascination?” Confucius had a penetrating view of humanity. The book under review is a stimulating academic book, but it does not bring you in touch with the transforming power of Confucius’s lessons. To appreciate the power of Confucian lessons to change lives I recommend the book by Robert Canright: “Achieve Lasting Happiness, Times Secrets to Transform Your Life.”
