These are followed by chapters that individually explore key areas of the texts philosophical landscape, articulating both the sense of concepts such asren,li, andxiao as well as their place in the wider space of the text. A final section addresses prominent interpretive challenges and scholarly disputes in reading theAnalects, evaluating, for example, the alignment between theAnalects and contemporary moral theory and the contested nature of its religious sensibility.

This book is an ideal resource for both researchers and advanced students interested in gaining greater insight into one of the earliest and most influential Confucian classics.
