The Analects are a collection of Confucius’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 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.

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

作者简介/Author

孔子（公元前551年9月28日～公元前479年4月11日），子姓，孔氏，名丘，字仲尼，鲁国陬邑（今山东省曲阜市）人，祖籍宋国栗邑（今河南省夏邑县），中国古代思想家、政治家、教育家，儒家学派创始人、“大成至圣先师”。

孔子开创私人讲学之风，倡导仁义礼智信。有弟子三千，其中贤人七十二。曾带领部分弟子周游列国十四年，晚年修订六经（《诗》《书》《礼》《乐》《易》《春秋》）。去世后，其弟子及再传弟子把孔子及其弟子的言行语录和思想记录下来，整理编成《论语》。该书被奉为儒家经典。 

孔子是当时社会上博学者之一，在世时就被尊奉为“天纵之圣”“天之木铎”，更被后世统治者尊为孔圣人、至圣、至圣先师、大成至圣文宣王先师、万世师表。其思想对中国和世界都有深远的影响，其人被列为“世界十大文化名人”之首。随着孔子影响力的扩大，祭祀孔子的“祭孔大典”一度成为和中国祖先神祭祀同等级别的大祀。

Confucius (551-479 BC), though of noble descent, was born in humble circumstances. He believed that politics is only an extension of morals, and spent ten years travelling through the various states of China spreading his ideas. When he realised that there was no way of converting the feudal rulers to his way of thinking he returned to Lu and spent the rest of his life there teaching his pupils.

D.C. Lau在香港大学读中文，1946年，他去了格拉斯哥就读哲学。1950年，他进入伦敦的东方和非洲研究学院，教授中国哲学。在伦敦大学讲授中国哲学后，他回到了香港，在中文大学担任教授。

D.C. Lau read Chinese at the University of Hong Kong, and, in 1946, he went to Glasgow, where he read philosophy. In 1950 he entered the School of Oriental and African Studies in London to teach Chinese philosophy. After lecturing in Chinese philosophy at the University of London he returned to Hong Kong, where he is a Professor at the Chinese University.
