About The Confucius Synthor
Synthors are Synthetic Thought Generators that let you text chat with books.
This one is based on the Analects of Confucius. It will let you chat with Confucius and find out exactly and accurately, what he said all those years ago. But please, use language that a person from 2500 years ago would understand!
Words from Confucius, spoken around 500 BCE and transcribed by his disciples, the Analects shapes the beliefs and attitudes of billions of people, but are seldom read. The references come from another person, who heard it from another person....like in a Chinese Whisper.
But not this Synthor. It does not make things up. Not one word of the original text is ever altered. It can even show you the original Chinese text of the Analects.
This Synthor is like a friend who has profound knowledge of the Analects. And nothing else. Its mind, consisting of the contents of just one book would respond as a whimsical but knowledgeable reader of that book.
It can be moody, forgetful and disjointed - it all depends on you....
Our source text is: The Analects of Confucius circa 500BCE (http://classics.mit.edu/Confucius/analects.mb.txt) as stored in the Internet Archives.
