Understanding the Confucian Analects

摘要

Historian, philosopher and educator Tu Wei-Ming analyzed one of the world's oldest works of social thought, the Analects of Confucius, in the Bradley Lecture series. Recorded after Confucius's death, misunderstood and maligned in the West, and denounced during the Cultural Revolution, the Confucian Analects, Professor Tu argued, nevertheless reflect a coherent, humanistic philosophy unrivaled for its sustained influence on a large number of people.
