The Four Books: The Basic Teachings of the Later Confucian Tradition de Daniel K. Gardner

The Four Books: The Basic Teachings of the Later Confucian Tradition: Hackett Classics

Autor Daniel K. Gardner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2007
In this engaging volume, Daniel Gardner explains the way in which the Four Books-- Great Learning , Analects , Mencius , and Maintaining Perfect Balance --have been read and understood by the Chinese since the twelfth century. Selected passages in translation are accompanied by Gardner's comments, which incorporate selections from the commentary and interpretation of the renowned Neo-Confucian thinker, Zhu Xi (1130-1200). This study provides an ideal introduction to the basic texts in the Confucian tradition from the twelfth through the twentieth centuries. It guides the reader through Zhu Xi's influential interpretation of the Four Books, showing how Zhu, through the genre of commentary, gave new coherence and meaning to these foundational texts. Since the Four Books with Zhu Xi's commentary served as the basic textbook for Chinese schooling and the civil service examinations for more than seven hundred years, this book illustrates as well the nature of the standard Chinese educational curriculum.

Recenzii

Daniel Gardner's The Four Books was perfect for my upper-division lecture course on Late Imperial China, and would also work well in an introductory class on the same period, anything from Song through Qing; or in an introductory week or two on pre-modern China or East Asia in a modern China or modern East Asia history or political science course. [Gardner] has designed this book for undergraduates and it is clearly written and easy to read. His introduction and conclusion are both clear and helpful. The introduction makes the key points students need to understand the place of the Four Books in late imperial society and government, and in intellectual history. The pictures illustrative particular points well, and the reproduced page of text plus commentary vividly shows students how the commentary was built right in. The conclusion reiterates important points about the overall message of the Four Books, pulling together examples from all of them: this is useful for students encountering the texts for the first time. In between, the presentation of the Great Learning and the selection of passages from the other Books, enriched as late imperial readers would have had them by commentary, is judicious. Of course every teacher will have her own favorite passages that have been omitted, but Gardner has chosen wisely to make the most important points. . . . Thanks to Hackett for providing this excellent classroom resource. --Sarah Schneewind, University of San Diego
