As the translator of this book not only has an excellent command of the English language but is well accomplished in the study of Chinese and Western comparative culture, this translation of The Analects is easy to read and understand without missing the book's essence. The introduction and synopses for the different chapters will help the reader's understanding of Confucius and provide him or her with a deeper impression of Chinese traditional and current culture.
　　——Zhao Qizheng Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the CPPCC，President of Journalism School of Renmin University
Mr. Lin Wusun is one of the few scholars in China who knows both Chinese and Western cultures well and is versed in the English language. To render a Chinese classic into a foreign language is a for midable task and to make the translation easily understood by a reader of a different culture is even more difficult. Wusun has done it. His translation of Confucius Analects will help readers understand better Confucius philosophy and serve as a bridge between the Chinese and other cultures.
　　——Wu Jianmin Professor and Former President of China Foreign Affairs University
Lin Wusun brings outstanding knowledge of English and of Western thought to his translation of TheAnalects, producing a result that is sensitive to Western readers' thinking as he conveys Confucius' teachings and wisdom. This is, therefore, a very welcome addition to the body of works available in English on Confucius' philosophy and teachings.
　　——Dr. Ken Lieberthal Director of the John L Thornton China Center and senior fellow in Foreign Policy and Global Economy and Development at Brookings Institute
This is the most authoritative translation to come from China. Together with the Introduction, the translator, who is a leading scholar on comparative studies of Chinese and Western philosophies, guides the reader through the essence of Chinese thought against the background of Western philosophy.
