Description:
Taking into account the long history and wide range of Confucian Studies, this book introduces Confucianism -- initiated in China by Confucius (551 BC-479 BC) -- primarily as a philosophical and religious tradition. It pays attention to Confucianism in both the West and the East, focusing on the tradition's doctrines, rituals, sacred places and terminology, but also stressing the transformations and new thinking taking place in modern times. Xinzhong Yao draws together the many strands of Confucianism in a style accessible to students, teachers, and general readers.
