Review of 'ANALECTS OF CONFUCIUS' on Goodreads

4 stars

As lovely for the extensive translators notes (in introduction and appendix) as for the text, an intentional move away from western philosophical terms (heaven, morality) and assumptions (essentialism, individualism) and towards a co-relational, cyclical/ambiguous/multiplicity-of-meanings, philosophically important Chinese terms/characters left to stand for themselves, readable translation.
