De Chineesche Filosofie, Toegelicht voor niet-Sinologen, 1. Kh'oeng Foe Tsz' (Confucius)

A concise guide for non-specialists that explains Confucian thought through an introduction to its core principles, historical background, and a biographical account of Confucius; it presents translations and commentary on central texts—Choeng Yoeng (the Mean), Ta Hiŏh (the Great Learning)—and selected fragments from Loen Yü (the Analects). The commentary clarifies key terms, offers interpretive notes, and contrasts existing renderings to help readers understand how Confucian ideas inform social and familial institutions. Combining explanatory essays, historical context, and annotated translations, the work aims to make classical Chinese philosophy accessible without requiring prior sinological training.
