The Analects is a Confucian classic which appeared in book form in the early Warring States Period. Comprising 20 "books" or chapters, it is recorded of dialogues, stories, and anecdotes of Confucius, the philosopher and educator of ancient China and his disciples and students. While Confucius failed in his lifetime to rescue a crumbling civilization of the Zhou Dynasty with his teachings, he was to become the most influential sage in human history. His thought, still remarkably current and even innovative after 2500 years, survives here in The Analects-a collection of brief aphoristic sayings that has had a deeper impact on more people's lives over a longer period of time than any other book in human history.
