Abstract
"The Analects is a collection of the sayings of Confucius, one of the most influential thinkers of Eastern philosophy and a representative of Eastern culture (1). The traditional dates for his birth and death are 551 and 479 BC, and he was born in Lu in eastern China (2). Jaspers (3) regards Confucius, together with Socrates, Gautama Buddha, and Jesus Christ, as the four paradigmatic individuals, based on their influence on all philosophy (1, 4). The Analects is highly regarded in the history of philosophy, and have been read by one generation after another for two and a half millennia in the Asian cultural sphere as well as in China."
