The Awakening of Faith and New Confucian Philosophy


Add your own review!

Overview

This innovative volume demonstrates how and to what ends the writings of Xiong Shili, Ma Yifu, Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan adopted and repurposed conceptual models derived from the Buddhist text Treatise on Awakening Mahāyāna Faith. It shows which of the philosophical positions defended by these New Confucian philosophers were developed and sustained through engagement with the critical challenges advanced by scholars who attacked the Treatise. It also examines the extent to which twentieth-century New Confucians were aware of their intellectual debt to the Treatise and explains how they reconciled this awareness with their Confucian identity.

Reviews

"""The idea that Buddhism played a key role in the development of New Confucianism has long prevailed in academia, but it is not until recent years that such an idea has been critically studied through a series of monographs, mainly published by Brill. This book is one of the excellent works concerning such an important topic... This edited book does a great job of investigating the complex subject of the relationships between the Treatise on Awakening Mahayana Faith and New Confucianism. Drawing a clearer conclusion on this complicated topic will therefore become possible in the future, based on the finding of this excellent book."" -King Pong Chiu, Philosophy East & West, Vol. 72, No. 3, July 2022."
