Abstract

[The title of this chapter might strike the reader as somewhat strange, for what else could the Analects be but a book? Well, it is indeed a “book,” but a most atypical one (not unlike the Bible in some respects), so before addressing directly the details of the book—and what Confucius was about—the reader should have some understanding of its form, structure and historical development as a unique document.]
