This book reveals the important value of Confucianism in modern China. It represents a shift in focus in Confucian studies from centering on self-cultivation to encompassing the entire social life. It tries to explicate Confucian concepts from a localized perspective, making it clear that Confucian ethics scaffold the foundation of Chinese society. Examining the relationship between Confucian ethics and Chinese society is crucial for understanding China. The book cites a great deal of classics across four independently themed chapters, making it a valuable reference for researchers, students, or anyone interested in Confucianism and Chinese philosophy. While Confucian Ethics and Chinese Society: Chinese Confucian Principles, written by the same author, focuses on the principles of Confucianism, this book focuses on how these principles are omnipresent in the way Chinese institutions are organized.
