The Confucian Shi, Official Service, and the Confucian Analects

4.8/5 ( ratings)

Confucius' Lunyu, The Analects, has been studied most commonly over the past two millennia as a repository of universal truths unrelated to the concrete historical circumstances in which it was conceived and for which it was written, says Chan . By contrast, she interprets the text through historical analysis, asking about its historical background, who its message was intended for, and what the major concepts might have meant to the assumed audience. Her point of departure is the class affiliations of Confucius and his followers, and she looks at the meanings of passages in terms of the central interests of the early Confucianists as a particular social group. The study is revised from her Ph.D. dissertation in Chinese studies at the University of Sydney. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
