The philosophical, religious, and sociopolitical teachings of
Confucianism have played a central role in East Asian culture for
many centuries. This book presents a selection of passages from
leading Chinese thinkers of the later Ming dynasty
(sixteenth-seventeenth centuries), a peak period of Confucian
creativity influenced by Buddhism and Taoism. Chosen for their
practical interest and universal appeal, the passages are concerned
with how to develop the personality, conduct social relations, and
order society. In contrast to the common misconception of
Confucianism as a formalistic ideology linked to authoritarian
political regimes, these passages emphasize the cultivation of
spiritual qualities as a means of operating harmoniously and
successfully in the world.
