Spiritual Humanism
This paper summarizes the author's view and research on the concept of 'Spiritual Humanism' as a cross-cultural, historical heritage and theoretical framework for contemporary research in philosophy. It builds on comprehensive scholarship conducted over the last decades within a plurality of leading academic communities. It reflects the author's commitment to include Chinese Philosophy and intellectual history within the international scholarly c…
Mencius, Xunzi, and the Third Stage of Confucianism
According to Karl Jaspers’s theory of the Axial age, many important cultures in the world experienced a “transcendental breakthrough” between 800 and 200 BCE ; no more transformations occurred until Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century, which eventually ushered in the modern era. The implication of this theory is that only the West had a second cultural breakthrough, thus rendering moot the discussion of a third Confuci…
Implications of the Rise of “Confucian” East Asia
This chapter explores modernity as both a historical reality and a conceptual framework, and argues that Confucian East Asia helps to identify three sets of issues. These are traditions in the modernizing process, the relevance of non-Western civilizations to the self-understanding of the modern West, and the global significance of local knowledge. The Confucian insistence on the importance of equality rather than freedom, sympathy rather than ra…

CHAPTER 15 The Structure and Function of the Confucian Intellectual zn Ancient China
Confucian Spirituality in Contemporary China
The fact that the so-called Three Teachings (Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism) are honored in the same temples and embraced by the same persons shows that purity of faith, the quest for authenticity of belief, and exclusive commitment to one God are not prominent on the Chinese religious landscape. The Confucian elements that remained in the public discourse were those that were compatible with science and technology. Confucian humanism, unlike…
Korean Confucianism From a Sinic Perspective
Confucian Humanism as a Spiritual Resource for Global Ethics
Intellectuals in a World Made of Knowledge
The idea of a public recently has attracted a great deal of attention. The term first appears during nineteenth-century Russia. On the surface, it does not seem to have any antecedent in the Hindu, Buddhist, Judaic, Greek, Christian, or Islamic traditions. The Hindu quest for union of the real self with the cosmic reality, the Buddhist salvation as delivery from worldly attachments, the Jewish covenant with as the source of all values, the Greek …

Family, nation, and the world
Under the influence of Confucian culture, industrial East Asia has developed a less adversarial, less individualistic, and less self‐interested modern civilization. As such, the synergy engendered by individual initiatives with group orientation has made this region economically and politically the most dynamic area of the world since the Second World War. This paper engages with this development by exploring the Confucian perception of human flo…

Beyond the Enlightenment Mentality
The American Heritage Dictionary(1992:611) defines the as [a] philosophical movement of the eighteenth century that emphasized the use of reason to scrutinize previously accepted doctrines and traditions and that brought about many humanitarian reforms. This definition seems, in light of recent discussions on multiculturalism, not only inadequate but simple-minded. Even Immanuel Kant's impassioned characterization of the Enlightenment spirit as d…

The Rise of Industrial East Asia
The study of East Asia as an intriguing Problematik in the field of economic development and as a methodological challenge in comparative politics has fascinated academicians in North America and in Western Europe for a whole generation. Only recently has it become a major concern of policy makers and the general public in the so-called First World. Ironically, as government officials and the mass media begin to show great interest in the rise of…

Shifting Perspectives on Text and History
This reflection on Errington's thought-provoking paper, by an intellectual historian and a student of Chinese philosophy, does not dispute her interpretive position on classical Malay literature in general and on hikayat in particular. Rather, it attempts to challenge three salient points of her argument: that the distinction between "oral" and "written" is a hazy one in the paratactic style of the hikayat; that the "images" in this type of liter…

Wang Yang-Ming's Youth
My systematic study of Wang Yang-ming's life and thought began ten years ago. Although by then I had already read most of Wang Yang-ming's philosophical and political writings, it was my participation in Professor Erik Erikson's seminar on History and Life History in 1965 that prompted me to take Wang Yang-ming seriously as a “witness” of the Confucian tradition. Inspired by Erikson's imaginative inquiry into YOUNG MAN LUTHER and his particular c…
