Product Details

Confucianism is reviving in China and spreading in America. The past and present interactions between the revived Confucianism and Daoism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity will likely shape the cultural and political developments in Chinese societies of mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc., and will have global implications in the globalizing world. In addition to the philosophical and theological articulations of Confucianism and other spiritual traditions, this volume includes empirical studies of and analytical reflections on the spiritual traditions in Chinese societies by historians, sociologists, and anthropologists. It is a collection of articles by the best minds in China and the West, and the top experts in multiple disciplines. Collectively, the volume provides an assessment of the present situation and points to the possibilities of future development of Confucianism and other spiritual traditions in modern China and beyond.

Industry Reviews

"As these broad titles suggest, a large variety of different topics are in fact discussed in this rich volume, which also encompasses extremely different approaches to the study of Chinese religions (philosophy and theology, religious studies, history, and social sciences)." Sebastien Billioud, Journal of Chinese Religions Vol. 41/1 (2013)
