Reviews

One of the most prominent representatives of contemporary New Confucianism, Xu Fuguan also represents how a Chinese intellectual deeply committed to Chinese cultural heritage can embrace the core values of democracy. Being the first book-length English translation of Xu's works, this volume fills an important gap. - Peimin Ni, author of Understanding the Analects of Confucius: A New Translation of Lunyu with Annotations
