"A clear and refreshing translation that renders the insights on the good life in their true light, free from misleadingly gendered language. This one might supersede all the others." -- Becky Yang Hsu, author of The Extraordinary in the Mundane: Family and Forms of Community in China "Erin M. Clines scholarship is impeccable; her sense of the text and her insights into its underlying message are always impressive, often revelatory, and at times astonishing. This translation opens the text to new generations of readers and invites them to join the expanding circle of readers who have learned from and come to love the teachings of the first teacher." -- Philip Ivanhoe, author of Confucian Reflections: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times "Not just a book to study but a work of art to live with, this edition reclaims the Analects as a vital stage for thought, experience, and transformation in todays world." -- Robin R. Wang, author of Yinyang: The Way of Heaven and Earth in Chinese Thought and Culture "Erin M. Clines translation is the Analects for our generation! Finally, English readers can appreciate the original vision of Confucius, who was a radical revivalist, not the staid Burkean traditionalist he is so often portrayed as." -- Bryan W. Van Norden, author of Taking Back Philosophy
