China now attracts global attention in direct proportion to its
increasing economic and geopolitical power. But for millennia, the
philosophy which has shaped the soul of China is not modern
Communism, or even new forms of capitalism, but rather
Confucianism. And one of the most striking phenomena relating to
China's ascendancy on the world stage is a burgeoning interest,
throughout Asia and beyond, in the humanistic culture and values
that underlie Chinese politics and finance: particularly the
thought of Confucius passed on in the Analects. In this stimulating
conversation, two leading thinkers from the Confucian and Buddhist
traditions discuss the timely relevance of a rejuvenated Confucian
ethics to some of the most urgent issues in the modern world:
Sino/Japanese/US relations; the transformation of society through
education and dialogue; and the role of world religions in
promoting human flourishing. Exploring correspondences between the
Confucian and Buddhist world-views, the interlocutors commit
themselves to a view of spirituality and religion that, without
blurring cultural difference, is focused above all on the
'universal heart': on harmony between people and nature that leads
to peace and to a hopeful future for all humanity.
