Authors: Translation, commentary by Brian Bruya & Wenwen Li
Labeled a forgery and ignored for centuries, the “Dialogues of Confucius” was nevertheless preserved and passed down through the generations, purportedly a companion to the Analects.
Recent archeological finds and renewed analysis now suggest that the “Dialogues” can be accepted as authentic and that it accurately represents the thinking of Confucius on a wide array of topics.
In this book, Brian Bruya and Wenwen Li offer the first complete translation of the text into English as well as a detailed introduction discussing Confucian philosophy, the history of the text, and the debates around its authenticity.
