This book explores how Confucian thought, which was the ideological
underpinning of traditional, imperial China, is being developed and
refined into a New Confucianism relevant for the twenty-first
century. It traces the development of Confucian thought, examines
significant new texts, and shows how New Confucianism relates to
various spheres of life, how it informs views on key philosophical
issues, and how it affects personal conduct. Starting by exploring
the philosophical and ideological principles of New Confucianism,
the book goes on to explain how New Confucianism is a collective
process of continuous creation and recreation, an incessant and
evolving discourse. It argues that New Confucianism, unlike its
earlier manifestation, is more accommodating of a plurality of
ideologies in the world; and that understanding Confucianism and
how it is developing is essential for understanding contemporary
China.
