Kurzbeschreibung
The Analects express a philosophy, or a moral code, by which Confucius, one of the most humane thinkers of all time, believed everyone should live. Upholding the ideals of wisdom, self-knowledge, courage and love of one's fellow man, he argued that the pursuit of virtue should be every individual's supreme goal. And, while following the Way, or the truth, might not result in immediate or material gain, Confucius showed that it could nevertheless bring its own powerful and lasting spiritual rewards.

Format:Taschenbuch
D.C Lau's Translation of Confuciuan Philosophy and "The Analects" is perhaps the best I've ever read. Lau brillantly enuciates the most important tenets of Confucian thought in a clear and concise manner, while at the same time not forsaking any of the intellectual or scholarly integrity that often happens with certain translations of Confucius. Lau 's introduction gives a wonderful introduction to the goldmine of wisdom that one encounters while reading Confucius and helped me to understand the teachings of Confucius better than any other translator. As for "The Analects" itself, I could write 20 pages on why it is the most beautifully constructed philosophy ever written, but I won't and will simply say this. The wisdom in "The Analects" is worth more than 10 of those so called "New Age" books that attempt to give insight but in fact only give rhetoric. Confucius wil open your eyes to the joy of living and the joy of a life of the pursuit of what TRUE wisdom, truth and virtue really are. READ THIS BOOK, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

The _Analects_ is a collection of sayings attributed toConfucius and some of his disciples. For more than 2,000 years, ithas been one of the great classics of Chinese civilization. Lau's is one of the better translations, and this edition includes an informative introduction and helpful appendices.
Other good translations of the _Analects_ include those by Arthur Waley and James Legge. The best overall study of the life and thought of Confucius is probably still Herrlee Creel's _Confucius: The Man and the Myth_.

Strange, strange choices
6. Mai 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
This is not the translation by Arthur Waley (which is very good) but the one by D.C. Lau. Since Lau's translation was first published, a number of advances have been made in the field of Warring States Period scholarship which render a fair amount of the supporting material obsolete (see "The Original Analects" by Brooks and Brooks for the latest). As for the translation itself, it's rife with awkward and mystifying word choices -- for instance, in a passage in chapter 11 in which the disciple Zilu (Tzu-lu, in Wade-Giles romanization, which Lau uses) gets the better of Confucius in an argument, Waley translates the Master's retort, "It is remarks of that kind that make me hate glib people," and the Brookses and Huang Chichung make similar choices; but Lau renders it, "It is for this reason that I dislike men who are plausible." Similar mishandlings of connotation appear throughout the book. For an old-fashioned translation, Waley's is a hundred times better.

Needs Repeated Readings
25. Januar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Filled with totally obfuscated phrases like, "The Kuan-chu Ode is lively but not licentious, plaintive but not harrowing," are gems like, "Po I and Shu Ch'i never remembered old injuries, and therefore their enemies were few." The thing about it, is that I read it cover to cover. Clearly, this deep and old wisdom is best taken in small bits for not many words are wasted. Also, the Lionel Giles translation I read was weak on supplemental commentary so I really felt like I needed a more knowledgeable guide as I was reading. Perhaps the Norton version would have better annotations then the beautiful Easton Press version from my library. It is clearly a five star book, but I think I only got about three stars out of it. Most certainly a book to read again, and again and again.

I, for one, liked the introductory comments
9. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I guess, there is not much point in buying this book for the text of Lunyu itself: it is available in full on the Internet (for example at Wengu: http://afpc.asso.fr/wengu/wg/wengu.php?l=intro - in the Chinese original, two English - including Lau's - and one French translation) but it is the introduction and adjoining commentaries that are of value. In this respect, I found D.C.Lau's work quite pleasing. He explains the main terms and how they hang together, illustrates his arguments with quotations from the actual Analects and tries his best to relate Confucius' philosophy to suitable analogues in the Western tradition. I am no China-expert, so this helped a lot. The book also has a post-script outlining Kong-zi's life and a short piece on the individual disciples and friends that Confucius converses with in the book. I think there is $9 of value (or whatever the price) in this book.
