Anyway, I don't think there is One Translation to Rule Them All, even if some are better than others. Which specific one is best for you depends on what you're looking for.

Replying to @CheshireOcelot
Do you think reading the Analects makes sense at all? I think it comes across as merely inscrutable to most people; Daxue or Xunzi much better intro to Confucianism

Replying to @QuasLacrimas
Other books may be a better introduction; Zhu Zi recommended The Great Learning as a starting-point, IIRC. However, I disagree 100%, if not 110%, that it's "inscrutable."

I almost want to tweet lines at you until you are bored to tears. I will pray to Christ for self-control
