In this engaging volume, Daniel Gardner explains the way in which the Four Books-Great Learning, Analects, Mencius, and Maintaining Perfect Balance-have been read and understood by the Chinese since the twelfth century. Selected passages in translation are accompanied by Gardner's comments, which incorporate selections from the commentary and interpretation of the renowned Neo-Confucian thinker, Zhu Xi (1130-1200).
