Imagining Boundaries explores the mapping of the intellectual
tradition of Confucianism in Chinese history. The authors show that
the Confucian tradition is not a neatly packaged organic whole in
which the constitutive parts fall naturally into place, but rather
that it displays the ruptures of all cultural constructions.
Accordingly, Confucianism has been configured and reconfigured in
time in to changing intellectual and circumstances.
This anthology addresses the constant negotiation of the
boundaries of Confucianism within itself and in relation to other
intellectual traditions, the fluidity of the Confucian canon, the
dialogical relations Between text and discourse in establishing
boundaries for the Confucian tradition, and the textual and
discursive strategies employed in the imagining of boundaries,
which expanded or restricted the intellectual space of
Confucianism.
Rejecting an interpretation of Confucianism as a homogenous
master-narrative and worldview, the book uses the variegated
histories of Confucianism to interrogate the tradition itself,
unpacking and highlighting its complexity and diversity.
