The Confucian Analects. or Lun Yu in Chinese, can also be translated as "Discourses and Dialogues" or "Digested Conversations". The title is derived simply from the fact that the work is composed primarily of discussions that Confucius had with his disciples on various topics. The Analects of Confucius is divided into twenty Books. Within each book contains a number of Chapters, ranging anywhere from three to forty-seven Chapters. Each Chapter can be considered an "Analect", because each Chapter consists of a specific discussion or common theme. This book of Confucian Analects should give the reader a basic understanding of this 2,500 year old work. In essence, a study of the Lun Yu is a study of the philosophy of Confucius. Also, this work is significant in China’s civilization in that current Chinese philosophy primarily revolves around this thought: Confucianism, together with another: Taoism, or Neo-Confucianism. Listing included: The Analects, 1 book only.
