Issues in Interpreting Confucius
- The Warring States Project
http://www.umass.edu/wsp/
[A project at the University of Massachusetts to interpret the works and
thought of the period and that resulted in the publication of a new approach
to the Analects in 1998: E. Bruce Brooks and A. Taeko Brooks, The
Original Analects: Sayings of Confucius and His Successors (Columbia
University Press). Worth reading by serious students. Resources for
introducing this approach in the classroom are also available. These
proposals might be compared with those of Roger
Ames.]
