Now that China has asserted its political rights among world nations, it seems natural to ask whether Confucianism as a\u003cbr\u003e philosophy has a modern or even postmodern role to play for building modern China and for enlightening the world. This question is even more meaningful in light of the fact that there is a genuine need felt in China\u003cbr\u003e for a return to its Confucian heritage and vision for purposes of sustaining societal harmonization and reconstructing\u003cbr\u003e cultural identity in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45203091849367,"sku":"9781118364338","price":3652.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781118364338.webp?v=1767668186","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/confucian-philosophy-innovations-and-transformations-9781118364338","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
