Synopsis

Even the most casual observer of Chinese society is aware of the tremendous significance of Confucianism as a linchpin of both ancient and modern Chinese identity. Furthermore, the Confucian tradition has exercised enormous influence over the values and institutions of the other cultures of East Asia, an influence that continues to be important in the global Asian diaspora. If forecasters are correct in labeling the 21st century 'the Chinese century,' teachers and scholars of religious studies and theology will be called upon to illuminate the history, character, and role of Confucianism as a religious tradition in Chinese and Chinese-influenced societies. The essays in this volume will address the specifically pedagogical challenges of introducing Confucian material to non-East Asian scholars and students. Informed by the latest scholarship as well as practical experience in the religious studies and theology classroom, the essays are attentive to the various settings within which religious material is taught and sensitive to the needs of both experts in Confucian studies and those with no background in Asian studies who are charged with teaching these traditions. The authors represent all the arenas of Confucian studies, from the ancient to the modern. Courses involving Confucius and Confucianism have proliferated across the disciplinary map of the modern university. This volume will be an invaluable resource for instructors not only in religious studies departments and theological schools, but also teachers of world philosophy, non-Western philosophy, Asian studies, and world history.

Revue de presse

"Teaching Confucianism should prove to be an invaluable resource for those of us who teach survey courses on China." --Lucien Ellington, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

"As Chinese philosophy is beginning to gain ground in the curricular offerings of many Philosophy Departments there is an increasing interest in the teaching of its most strategic topics. Richey has gathered a collection of essays by a wide range of scholars known for their work in Confucianism and Chinese intellectual and religious traditions. After teaching Confucianism for many years, I can say that the most fundamental issues are placed into the hands of able scholars well prepared to provide guidance and even inspiration." --Ronnie Littlejohn, author of Daoism: An Introduction
