Recenzii
"Manufacturing Confucianism is a provocative expose of the West's endearment of a "Confucian" culture that never existed... By portraying modern perceptions of Confucianism in the West and in China as the outcome of western imagination and Chinese aspiration, Manufacturing Confucianism can indeed by referred to as a true "dispeller of myths".--Royal Asiatic Journal, Vol. 10- Part 1, April 2000 "Jensen makes his case with a forceful combination of detailed sinological research and rigorous reasoning. It is certain to be a focus of discussion for many decades to come. Indeed, it will be a significant milestone in the field." Hoyt Cleveland Tillman, Arizona State University, and author of Confucian Discourse and Chu Hsi's Ascendancy "A thesis that will scandalize cultural purists: the 'Confucius' we love, honor and emulate springs from the intercultural trafficking of seventeenth-century Jesuit missionaries. Jensen argues his case on many planes, with nuance and bedrock affection for both China and sinology." Haun Saussy, Stanford University, and author of The Problem of a Chinese Aesthetic

Descriere
Is it possible that the familiar and beloved figure of Confucius was invented by Jesuit priests? Based on specific documentary evidence, historian Lionel Jensen reveals how 16th- and 17th-century Western missionaries used translations of the ancient RU tradition to invent the presumably historical figure who has been globally celebrated as philosopher, prophet, statesman, wise man, and saint. 13 illustrations.
