Confucian Analects

The Confucian Analects is a collection of sayings and teachings attributed to the Chinese philosopher Confucius, compiled and written down by his disciples. This particular edition of the Analects is translated and interpreted by the American poet and scholar Ezra Pound. Pound's translation aims to capture the essence and spirit of Confucius' teachings, emphasizing the importance of moral character, social harmony, and the pursuit of knowledge. The book is organized into short, aphoristic passages, each one offering a nugget of wisdom or insight into the human condition. Pound's interpretation of the Analects is notable for its poetic language and its emphasis on the ethical and spiritual dimensions of Confucian thought. This edition is a classic of Chinese philosophy and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the wisdom traditions of the East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
