Confucianism, an ancient and expansive tradition, offers profound insights into living well through understanding our interconnectedness. For millennia, Confucian thinkers have developed and passed down this philosophy. While Kongzi (Confucius, 551-479 BCE) is its most renowned figure, his teachings on compassion, family, and our relationship with the environment remain relevant across cultures and time.
Stephen C. Angle's *Growing Moral* encourages readers to apply Confucian principles in the modern world. Drawing from classical and Neo-Confucian thinkers like Kongzi, Mengzi, Xunzi, Zhu Xi, and Wang Yangming, the book emphasizes Confucianism's enduring lessons.
*Growing Moral* also critically examines aspects of Confucianism that may clash with contemporary values, such as its historical ties to patriarchy and monarchy. Angle explores how Confucianism can evolve to align with gender equality and democratic principles while maintaining its core tenets.
Ultimately, Confucianism offers a path to joyful, harmonious, and beautiful communal living. This book argues for a modern Confucianism that deserves the consideration of all reflective readers, regardless of their background.
