Sinopsis

The Chinese Classical Work Commonly Called The Four Books is a book written by David Collie in 1828. The book is a translation of the four books of Confucianism, which are considered to be the core texts of Chinese philosophy and culture. The four books include the Great Learning, the Doctrine of the Mean, the Analects, and the Mencius. The book provides an introduction to Confucianism and its teachings, as well as a detailed analysis of each of the four books. The translation is done in a way that is easy to understand for English readers, while still preserving the original meaning and style of the Chinese texts. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Chinese philosophy, culture, or history, and offers a fascinating insight into one of the world’s oldest and most influential belief systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

The following Version of the Four Books was undertaken, in the first instance, for the purpose of acquiring some knowledge of the Chinese Language. After the whole had been written, it occurred to the Translator, that if carefully revised and illustrated by quotations from the most approved Comments, and by occasional remarks on the fundamental errors in religion and morals, which, in too many instances, the work discovers, it might perhaps be of some use to the Chinese who study English in the College, not only by assisting them in acquiring theE nglish Language, but especially in leading them to reflect seriously on some of the fatal errors propagated by their most celebrated sages. This circumstance forms the only apology which the Translator can offer for the frequent repetition of what must, to theE uropean reader, appear common place remarks, but which it is hoped, may, by the divine blessing, prove useful to some of the deluded heathen who read the translation.
