The Analects (Penguin Classics)

â€˜The Master said, â€œIf a man sets his heart on benevolence, he will be free from evilâ€â€™

The AnalectsÂ are a collection of Confuciusâ€™s sayings brought together by his pupils shortly after his death in 497 BC. Together they 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 oneâ€™s fellow man, he argued that the pursuit of virtue should be every individualâ€™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.

This edition contains a detailed introduction exploring the concepts of the original work, a bibliography and glossary and appendices on Confucius himself,Â The AnalectsÂ and the disciples who compiled them.
