Author: Erin Cline

February 17, 2026

This book by Senior Research Fellow Erin Cline offers a new English translation and thematic restructuring of Confucius's Analects, a foundational text in Chinese philosophy. Moving away from historical translations that relied on gendered language, Erin Cline utilizes a gender-neutral framework informed by the source itself that aims to correct patriarchal interpretations of the text which have historically sidelined women. Designed for contemporary readers and students, this edition provides an accessible approach to the Analects.
