The Analects of Dasan, Volume I: A Korean Syncretic Reading

Traducere și comentarii de Hongkyung Kim
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 oct 2016
With extensive research and creative interpretations, Dasan's Noneo gogeum ju (Old and New Commentaries of the Analects) has been evaluated in the academia of Korean Studies as a crystallization of his studies on the Confucian classics. Dasan (Jeong Yak-yong: 1762-1836) attempted through this book to synthesize and overcome the lengthy scholarly tradition of the classical studies of the Analects, leading it not only to represent one of the greatest achievements of Korean Confucianism but also demonstrate an innovative prospect for the progress of Confucian philosophy, positioning it as one of the ground-breaking works in all Confucian legacies in East Asia. Originally consisting of forty volumes in traditional book binding, his Noneo gogeum ju contains one hundred and seventy-five new interpretations on the Analects, hundreds of "arguments" about the neo-Confucian commentaries, hundreds of references to the scholarly works of the Analects, thousands of supportive quotations from various East Asian classics for the author's arguments, and hundreds of philological discussions. This book is an English translation of Noneo gogeum ju with the translator's comments on the innovative ideas and interpretations of Dasan on the Analects.

Recenzii

Tasan's commentaries are extremely insightful also for a better grasp of the wider commentarial tradition. Kim's annotated translation remains of the highest quality. His explanations are perceptive and erudite.
Every chapter is followed by the selected commentaries, supplemented and refuted by Tasan, upon which Kim in turn provides perceptive expositions.
Kim succinctly discusses the evolution of Tasan scholarship, the NKC 's genesis and contents, as well as Tasan's overall neo-Confucian thought, which he calls "Learning of Practical Principle".
The various materials of each chapter- the original text of the Analects, Dasan's grounds, arguments, and notes- are edited in such a clear manner that readers can comfortably peruse an entire chapter's meaning from various viewpoints.
What Hongkyung Kim does in this book is to expound the deeper and authentic meaning of 'practical learning' by going back to Confucius' Analects.
The author takes his emphasis beyond the geographic domain of the Pacific in an effort to tackle the entire edifice of decolonization... When one adds McIntyres meticulous research [to these observations], one can only conclude that his work deserves the full attention of scholars and interested readers concerned with the last stages of the British Empire.
I wholeheartedly applaud Hongkyung Kims indispensable contribution to this volume... This book is indispensable for understanding not only Dasans commentary on the Analects but also Dasans philosophical ideas and spiritual orientation.
The primary contribution of this translation, besides its readability, is the insight it provides into Dasan's thinking...[contributes] to a better understanding in the Western world of one of Korea's greatest moral philosophers.
I strongly recommend the book to students and scholars in the fields of history, philosophy, religious studies, or even literature who are interested in Asian and specifically Korean intellectual history. This will be a great academic resource. Dr. Kim's translation and commentaries are a kind of work that only masters can do. This volume will open up historical discussions on the history of Korean commentaries on the classical texts.
This new translation is significant, providing scholars interested in the Analects, Korean Confucianism, and Confucianism in general an important resource. Dasan has his own unique interpretation of the Analects, either by siding with one of the traditional interpretations or by providing an unprecedented interpretation. So it is an important text to understand Dasan's own understanding of the Analects, Dasan's own philosophy, and the Analects itself. Kim gives more than mere translation. He also provides a commentary, which...not only summarizes Dasan's view, but often situates it in the historical context in which Dasan is writing, including his exchanges on the relevant passages with his contemporaries. While there is an abundance of English translations...there has not been a comprehensive English translation of the text including its long and rich commentary tradition until now.
