A New Translation with Traditional CommentaryApril 12, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Slingerland's translation of Confucius' Analects is a helpful addition to the current literature on the subject. Destined to be used for college student, Slingerland gathers a number of traditional commentaries on each translated verse as well as giving a helpful glossary of Chinese terms and names of person referred in the text. While I personally would prefer D.C. Lau's translation, Slingerland's prose is quite good and less cumbersome than Ames and Rogermont's philosophical translation. This is a helpful introduction to Confucian thought for English-language reader.

None of these reviews relate to the Slingerland edition of Analects, which is the best around.
