Why the Confucian Analects Is Not as Old as We Might Think?

Why the Confucian Analects Is Not as Old as We Might Think? Professor Michael Hunter from Yale University will give a talk in Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard and tell you why.

But no matter how old the Analects is, it is certainly old enough to be read by thousands of millions of people (maybe more) in East Asia. In this digital library (full-text searchable) of Sungkyunkwan University (http://koco.skku.edu/), you can find out how Korean literati read the Analects, as well as other Confucian classics.
