Descriere completă

"The Analects" (Lunyu) is one of the most influential texts in human history. As a putative record of Confucius' (551-479 bce) teachings and a foundational text in scriptural Confucianism, this classic was instrumental in shaping intellectual traditions in China and East Asia until the early twentieth century. But no premodern reader read only the text of "The Analects" itself. Rather, "The Analects" was embedded in a web of interpretation that mediated its meaning. Modern interpreters of "The Analects" only rarely acknowledge this legacy of two thousand years of commentaries. How well do we understand prominent or key commentaries from this tradition? How often do we read such commentaries as we might read the text on which they comment? Many commentaries do more than simply comment on a text. Not only do they shape the reading of the text, but passages of text serve as pretexts for the commentator to develop and expound his own body of thought. This book attempts to redress our neglect of commentaries by analyzing four key works dating from the late second century to the mid-nineteenth century (a period substantially contemporaneous with the rise and decline of scriptual Confucianism): the commentaries of He Yan (ca. 190-249); Huang Kan (488 to 545); Zhu Xi (1130-1200); and Liu Baonan (1791-1855) and Liu Gongmian (1821-1880).
