From Philosophy to Philology: Intellectual and Social Aspects of Change in Late Imperial China

From Philosophy to Philology is an indispensable work on the intellectual life of China’s literati in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. While there was not a scientific revolution in China, there was an intellectual one. The shock of the Manchu conquest and the collapse of the Ming dynasty in 1644 led to a rejection of the moral self-cultivation that dominated intellectual life under the Ming. China’s scholars, particularly in the Yangzi River Basin, sought to restore China’s greatness by recapturing the wisdom of the ancients from the Warring States period (403–221 B.C.) and the Former Han dynasty (202 B.C.–9 A.D.), much as Renaissance Europe rediscovered the Greeks and Romans. But in China scholars faced the daunting task of determining which of many editions of the Classics were the true originals and which were forged additions of later centuries. 
The ensuing search for authentic texts led to the founding of academies and libraries, the compiling of bibliographies, the rise of printing of editions of the Classics and Histories and commentaries on their components, the study of ancient inscriptions, and a two-hundred-year effort to discover and discard forged texts. In the process rigorous standards of scholarly training were adopted, and scholarship became a full-time profession distinct from gentry farmers or imperial officials.

Rethinking Confucianism: Past and Present in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam

This thick volume contains 16 essays on both historic and present day aspects of Confucianism by scholars in the US (predominantly), Japan, Canada and the UK. The topics include footbinding and female identity, gynecology in Tokugawa Japan, language and gender in Choson Korea, historic agendas of Vietnamese Confucianism, and seven essays on current emanations of Confucianism in Korea, Vietnam, China, and Japan. The essays stem from a two-year project that included four workshops held in 1997-1999 at UCLA, where the three editors teach. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This ambitious volume brings together a group of distinguished scholars who have worked together over five years’ time in an attempt to explain the present pan-Asian revival of Confucianism a century after it was declared moribund by leading philosophers and thinkers in China and Japan as well as in the West. 
This collaborative study of China and its historical sphere of influence in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam begins by clearly establishing the principal threads that made up Confucian thought in the period of its unchallenged eminence. It also examines the pitfalls of Western scholars who have tended to lump together as "Confucianism" many diverse currents of Chinese and other Asian classical thought. 
Uniquely, the book explores as well traditional Confucian views of issues such as gender, medicine, and ritual, and examines the reasons given by leading Asian and Western scholars for rejecting Confucianism at the end of the nineteenth century.
