Associated with economic development, individual growth, and social progress by its advocates, Confucianism became a potent force in shaping politics and society in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese communities. This book links the contemporary Confucian revival to debates-both within and outside China-about global capitalism, East Asian modernity, political reforms, civil society, and human alienation. The contributors offer fresh insights on the contemporary Confucian revival as a broad cultural phenomenon, encompassing an interpretation of Confucian moral teaching; a theory of political action; a vision of social justice; and a perspective for a new global order, in addition to demonstrating that Confucianism is capable of addressing a wide range of social and political issues in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57303599055230,"sku":"NW9781438466507","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781438466507.jpg?v=1778572707","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/confucianism-for-the-contemporary-world","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
