Confucian Concord: Reform, Utopia and Global Teleology in Kang Youwei's <i>Datong Shu</i>: Ideas, History, and Modern China, cartea 24

Autor Federico Brusadelli
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2020
In Confucian Concord, Federico Brusadelli offers an intellectual analysis of the Datong Shu. Written by Kang Youwei (1858-1927) and conceived as his most esoteric and comprehensive legacy to posterity, the book was eventually published posthumously, in 1935, considered “too advanced for the times” in Kang’s own opinion.

Connecting Datong Shu to its author’s intellectual biography and framing it within the intellectual and political debate of the time, Brusadelli investigates the conceptual and philosophical implications of Kang’s ‘global prophecy’, showing how an apparently ‘utopian’ and ‘escapist’ piece of literature was actually an attempt to save (at least ideally) the imperial political order, updating the traditional Confucian universalism to a new, ‘modern’ world.

Recenzii

"Brusadelli's approach is an exciting one that does not shy away from unorthodox solutions, for example, interpreting China's modernizing ambitions from a standpoint that attempts to transcend the binary oppositions of "traditional" versus "modern," "Chinese" versus "Western." The questions that we, the readers, are after in this excellent work have to do as much with the origins of Kang's influential ideas as with their impact on the rise of nationalism in China, on Mao Zedong's own utopian views, and finally, on the political challenges that the China of our present time needs to face." - Lehel Balogh, Hokkaido University in Relgious Studies Review, Vol. 47, No. 3 (September 2021).
