Description:
Scholars tend to see Confucianism as a historical and yet living tradition containing elements of philosophy, religion, politics, morality and education, continuing to hold a swinging power over the way and value of life in East Asia.
With more and more universities and colleges offering courses on or relating to Confucian philosophy, ethics, religion and politics, there is an urgent need for a source book in contemporary Confucian studies. This is a major reference work of essential importance to undergraduates, postgraduates and academics in Confucianism, East Asian history, philosophy and religion.
