In this most timely monograph, Jana S. Rosker is visionary in anticipating the role Confucianism might serve as a world resource in reshaping a newly emerging cultural order for our own time and place. She brings the complexity and heterogeneous nature of the philosophical contributions of the second generation of Modern Confucians into clearer focus, and documents the inspiration their discourses have given contemporary scholars engaged in the revival of Confucianism as integral to the task of formulating a new Chinese post-Weberian modernization. It is this alternative model of modernization with its Confucian values grounded in a robust and nuanced conception of moral person that might give our world an antidote to the ideology of liberal individualism.
