Confucianism

New Confucian Horizons: Essays in Honor of Tu Weiming represents both a sustained reflection on Tu Weiming’s legacy from those who have worked with him and an original contribution to the field of intercultural dialogue that Tu himself spent a lifetime cultivating. The importance of Sino-American intellectual relations in an era of mounting geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China scarcely requires explanation. Tu Weiming’s work has significantly deepened Sino-American cultural relations and continues to provide a vital antidote to those who would sow division between the two worlds. This book deals with Confucianism and New Confucianism and Tu Weiming’s contribution to both of these Chinese philosophical traditions, studies how Confucianism has been received, especially in Asia, and considers Confucianism in connection with contemporary challenges. Those new to Tu Weiming will sense by the end of the volume just how vast his influence as a teacher, scholar and public intellectual has been. Those more familiar with Tu’s work will uncover lacunae in their understanding of his legacy and new angles from which to savour the value of Confucian intellectual resources.

Reviews for New Confucian Horizons: Essays in Honor of Tu Weiming

This collection of essays by leading scholars of Confucianism based outside of Asia is a celebration, and elaboration, of Tu Weiming's project of bringing Confucianism into dialogue with the world's major religions. Inspired by Tu's presentation of Confucianism as anthropocosmic spiritual humanism, these essays argue persuasively that there is much the non-Confucian world can learn from Confucianism about what it means to be moral as a human being inextricably connected with all other human beings as well as with all other entities in the universe. --Don Baker, University of British Columbia
