Confucianism, A Habit of the Heart: Bellah, Civil Religion, and East Asia

Philip J. Ivanhoe

4.9/5 (25420 ratings)

Description:Can Confucianism be regarded as a civil religion for East Asia? This book explores this question, bringing the insights of Robert Bellah to a consideration of various expressions of the contemporary Confucian revival. Bellah identified American civil religion as a religious dimension of life that can be found throughout US culture, but one without any formal institutional structure. Rather, this civil form of religion provides the ethical principles that command reverence and by which a nation judges itself. Extending Bellah s work, contributors from both the social sciences and the humanities conceive of East Asia s Confucian revival as a habit of the heart, an underlying belief system that guides a society, and examine how Confucianism might function as a civil religion in China, Korea, and Japan. They discuss what aspects of Confucian tradition and thought are being embraced; some of the social movements, political factors, and opportunities connected with the revival of the tradition; and why Confucianism has not traveled much beyond East Asia. The late Robert Bellah s reflection on the possibility for a global civil religion concludes the volume."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
