Through a systematic introduction of Confucius as a historical
figure, a spiritual leader, a philosopher, a political reformer, an
educator, and a person, this book offers a comprehensive, lucid,
and in-depth articulation of Confucius and his teachings for
Western students. It explains how his ideas are different from
their Western counterparts as well as challenging the orthodox
Western understandings of Confucianism. The book reveals clearly
how Confucius's insights can be a rich resource for addressing
contemporary problems and re-enchanting the world and the
contemporary life.

In this volume, leading scholars in Asian and comparative
philosophy take the work of Joel J. Kupperman as a point of
departure to consider new perspectives on Confucian ethics.
Kupperman is one of the few eminent Western philosophers to have
integrated Asian philosophical traditions into his thought,
developing a character-based ethics synthesizing Western, Chinese,
and Indian philosophies. With their focus on Confucian ethics,
contributors respond, expand, and engage in critical dialogue with
Kupperman s views. Kupperman joins the conversation with responses
and comments that conclude the volume."
