Comparative work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger has only increased in recent decades, but no collection has yet explored the various ways in which Wittgenstein and Heidegger can be drawn into dialog. As such, these essays stage genuine dialogues, with aspects of Wittgenstein’s elucidations answering or problematizing aspects of Heidegger’s, and vise versa. The result is a broad-ranging collection of essays that provides a series of openings and provocations that will serve as a reference point for future work that draws on the writings of these two philosophers.

This book is about the early Chinese Confucian classic the "Analects" (Lunyu) attributed to the founder of the Confucian tradition known as "Master Kong" Kongzi, who is more commonly referred to as "Confucius" in the West. Ivanhoe argues that the Analects is as relevant and important today as it has been over the course of its more than 2000 year history, not only for the people in East Asian societies but for all human beings.
