How Confucian traditions have shaped styles of being modern in
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore presents a
particular challenge to the intellectual community. Explorations of
Confucian network capitalism, meritocratic democracy, and liberal
education have practical implications for a sense of self,
community, economy, and polity.
Seventeen scholars, of varying fields of study, here bring their
differing perspectives to a consideration of the Confucian role in
industrial East Asia. Confucian concerns such as self-cultivation,
regulation of the family, social civility, moral education,
well-being of the people, governance of the state, and universal
peace provide a general framework for the study. The Confucian
"Problematik"--how a fiduciary community can come into being
through exemplary teaching and moral transformation--underlies much
of the discussion. The contributors question all unexamined
assumptions about the rise of industrial East Asia, at the same
time exploring the ideas, norms, and values that underlie the moral
fabric of East Asian societies.
Is Confucian ethics a common discourse in industrial East Asia?
The answer varies according to academic discipline, regional
specialization, and personal judgment. Although there are
conflicting interpretations and diverging perspectives, this study
represents the current thinking of some of the most sophisticated
minds on this vital and intriguing subject.
