About this listen

 The Analects, or Lunyu (论语), often referred to as the Analects of Confucius, serve as a profound collection of the words and deeds of the esteemed Chinese philosopher Confucius and his disciples, alongside the rich discussions they engaged in. Composed during the transformative Spring and Autumn Period through the Warring States Period (approximately 475 BC - 221 BC), the Analects stand as the cornerstone of Confucianism, wielding a significant influence on Chinese and East Asian thought and cultural values to this day. James Legge (理雅各; December 20, 1815 – November 29, 1897), a distinguished Scottish sinologist and Congregationalist, played a pivotal role in bringing these teachings to the Western world. He served as the first professor of Chinese at Oxford University and, in collaboration with Max Müller, contributed to the monumental Sacred Books of the East series, which was published in 50 volumes between 1879 and 1891.
