| Description: |
This text looks at the role and meaning of Confucianism in modern Asia. For some, Confucius is the symbol of a reactionary and repressive past, whilst for others he is a humanist, admired for his ethical system and discipline. |
| Synopsis: |
In Singapore, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of East and Southeast Asia, as well as China, people are asking "What does Confucianism have to offer today?" For some, Confucius is still the symbol of a reactionary and repressive past. For others, he is the humanist admired by generations of scholars and thinkers, East and West, for his ethical system and discipline, among other qualities. Much depends on whose Confucianism one is considering, its time and place. In the face of such complications, Theodore de Bary ventures broad answers to the question of the significance of Confucianism in today's world. |
