Confucian Ritual and Moral Education explores ways in which Confucian ritual can augment and enhance contemporary moral education. Drawing upon modern developmental theory and theory of education, it provides an original and revealing account of how Confucian ritual achieves its aim to reshape character. Through a sympathetic, creative, and careful application of Confucian ritual to the challenges of moral improvement, it shows how ritual theory and practice constitute valuable resources for the modern world. The author demonstrates a masterful command of a wide range of disciplines and approaches and has produced a book that will be of interest to anyone concerned with the practical challenges of moral education. -- Philip J. Ivanhoe, Georgetown University
