N2  - "Since the mid-1980s, Taiwan and mainland China have witnessed a sustained resurgence of academic and intellectual interest in ruxue - "Confucianism" - variously conceived as a form of culture, an ideology, a system of learning, and a tradition of normative values." "This study aims to show how ruxue has been conceived in academic discourse in China and Taiwan, in order to assess the achievements of this enterprise; to identify which aspects of ru thought and values academics in Taiwan and China find viable, and why; to highlight the dynamics involved in the ongoing cross-fertilization between academics in China and Taiwan made possible by this shared discourse; and to examine the relationship between these activities and cultural nationalism."--BOOK JACKET
