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…
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…
New Horizons in Eastern Humanism
China now attracts global attention in direct proportion to its increasing economic and geopolitical power. But for millennia, the philosophy which has shaped the soul of China is not modern Communism, or even new forms of capitalism, but rather Confucianism.

"For Two Centuries theorists of "secularization" have been saying that religion must inevitably decline in the modern world. But much of the world today is as religious as ever. This volume challenges the belief that the modern world is increasingly secular, showing that while modernization does have secularizing effects, it also provokes a reaction that more often strengthens religion. Seven expert social observers examine several geopolitical r…
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…
