Recenzii
[This] anthology is a trove of Confucian teachings.
Scholars will find here a helpful resource for their Confucianism classes as well as a nice departure point for more specialized research into the Euro-American reception of East Asian thought.
A magisterial collection, Portraits of Confucius belongs on the shelves of anyone concerned with the long history of Western encounters with Chinese religion, culture, and philosophy. With excerpts from across four centuries, we are offered portraits not only of Confucius but also, as in a mirror, portraits of his interlocutors in their own times. An indispensable resource for scholars and teachers.
We can't understand China without understanding Confucius. What's less well known is that we can't understand the West without understanding Confucius. This fascinating book is the definitive account of the various uses and misuses of Confucius's ideas in Western history.
These volumes are treasure troves for anyone seeking to understand the sources and evolution of Western views of Confucius and Confucianism. From famous to obscure, from books to newspapers to diaries, each selection is expertly introduced and contextualized. Highly recommended!
Kevin DeLapp has performed a simply inestimable service to all those interested in the subject of the reception of Confucius as both a historical figure and philosopher in the west with this scrupulously edited and researched two-volume collection of writings. This major edition tells the fascinating story of the powerful and but problematic impact of Confucius' ideas in the west from the early modern period to the 1960s. It contains a vast wealth of extracts, both from major European thinkers, but also from many less familiar but still highly influential writers, including literary writers, historians, and missionaries, and will be of lasting value to all scholars interested in the subject of the intellectual and cultural encounter between China and the west over the 400 years its vastly informative pages encompass.
