The first volume of David M. Honey’s comprehensive history of
Chinese thought offers a close study of Confucius, that
tradition’s proto-classicist. This opening volume examines
Confucius traditions that largely formed the views of later
classicists, who regarded him as their profession’s patron saint.
Honey’s survey begins by examining how these views informed the
Chinese classicists’ own identities as textual critics and
interpreters, all dedicated to self-cultivation for government
service. It focuses on Confucius’s methods as a proto-classical
master and teacher, and on the media in which he worked, including
the spoken word and written texts. As Honey explains, Confucius’s
immediate motivations were twofold: the moral development of
himself and his disciples and the ritual application of the lessons
from the classics. His instruction occurred in ritualized settings
in the form of a question and answer catechism between master and
disciples. This pedagogical approach will be analyzed through the
interpretive paradigm of “performative ritual,” borrowed from
recent studies of Greek classical drama. The volume concludes with
a detailed treatment of a trio of Confucius’s disciples who were
most prominent in transmitting his teachings, and with chapters on
his intellectual inheritors, Mencius and Xunzi.
