The analects /Confucius ; translated with an introduction and notes by Raymond Dawson. - Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, (c)1993. - xxxiv, 110 pages ; 19 cm. - The world's classics .



Few individuals have shaped their country's civilization more profoundly than the Master Kong, better-known as Confucius (551-479 BC). His sayings and those of his disciples form the foundation of a distinct social, ethical, and intellectual system. They have retained their freshness and vigor throughout the two and a half millennia of their currency, and are still admired even in today's China. This lively new translation offers clear explanatory notes by one of the foremost scholars of classical Chinese, providing an ideal introduction to the Analects for readers who have no previous knowledge of the Chinese language and philosophical traditions. --
