{"product_id":"reading-the-analects-today-zehou-li-9798855802801","title":"Reading the Analects Today","description":"In this book, one of contemporary China's most prominent philosophers, Li Zehou, explores one of the central texts in the Chinese philosophical tradition, the \u003ci\u003eAnalects\u003c\/i\u003e of Confucius. While the book provides an introduction to the \u003ci\u003eAnalects\u003c\/i\u003e itself and to Confucianism in general, it also serves as an introduction to Li's own thought, particularly the ways in which he regarded the Confucian tradition as relevant to postrevolutionary contemporary China. Key topics include the role of Confucianism in the Chinese tradition and in contemporary China; Confucianism's quasi-religious, quasi-philosophical character; Li's views on emotion, morality, and fate in Confucianism; and his call for a separation of public social morality from private religious morality in modern China. Translated here by Maija Bell Samei, \u003ci\u003eReading the \"Analects\" Today\u003c\/i\u003e is among the most accessible of Li Zehou's works and will be of interest not only to philosophers but to scholars and students of both modern and traditional Chinese intellectual, social, and religious history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zehou Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798855802801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Zehou Li","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451260195071,"sku":"9798855802801","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eba195e5-1815-4490-98b6-37ad798bc3a7.jpg?v=1735876941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-the-analects-today-zehou-li-9798855802801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
