"Olberding, a professor of philosophy at the University of Oklahoma, assembles fifteen contributions by eighteen esteemed scholars from the field of Confucian studies. ... The many perspectives taken in this edited volume ultimately create a vivid mosaic of the book, its context, and contents; an erudite and copious portrayal of a foundational Confucian text that will be much appreciated by the specialist and nonspecialist alike. This is a highly recommended reading for any serious student of Confucian studies." (Lukas Pokorny, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 42 (3), September, 2016) "This anthology of essays is volume 4 in the series 'Dao Companions to Chinese Philosophy'. It includes an Introduction, 16 essays, an Index of names and subjects, and an Index Locorum of passages from the Analects and the Mencius. ... There are many very fine essays in this anthology, and anyone seriously interested in the Analects should consult this volume." (Bryan Van Norden, Dao, Vol. 13, 2014)
