Description
Chenyang Li's Reshaping Confucianism offers a critical analysis and development of core ideas in Confucian philosophy, drawing on classic texts and contemporary scholarly discourse. By examining the historical context and significance of key concepts such as harmony, virtue, ritual propriety, and civic education, Li reconstructs a sensible Confucian philosophy that responds to contemporary challenges.
The book raises fundamental questions about the nature of Confucian values, the role of sages, and the best form of gender equality in modern society. Through systematic deliberation and analysis, Li investigates these questions and provides study questions for students to engage with key points and develop their own views.
