In his capacious work Major Aspects of Chinese Religion and Philosophy - Dao of Inner Saint and Outer King Shan Chun does not only explore the innate relations between Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism since their origins till its recent developments. By relating the three major traditions of Chinese philosophy he also attempts to concentrate the New-Confucianism on its unified origins and substantial implications by applying its inherent endeavour to relate and unite all spheres: these topics being the intimate relations between religion and philosophy, their inner and outer way (including the correlation between Confucian and Daoist legacies) as well as the unity between cosmos (heaven), country, state, society and family.  Prof. Dr. Claudia Bickmann, Professor of Philosophy, University of Cologne, Germany   Masterful introduction to traditional Chinese ways of thinking, embodied in the three teachings  of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism.  Albert Welter, Professor of East Asian Religions, University of Winnipeg, Canada   A valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of Chinese philosophy and religion.  Richard N. Stichler, Professor of Philosophy, Alvernia University, USA   This is a work that will satisfy both the curious non-specialist and the seasoned scholar in its treatment of a highly pertinent topic to the future of China, and not only its past.   Rosita Dellios Associate Professor of International Relations, Bond University, Australia A very revealing view of how a learned, serious Chinese intellectual understands the diverse riches to be found in the Chinese tradition.

In the twentieth century, in both China and the West, ritual became marginalized in the face of the growth of secularism and individualism. In China, Confucianism and its essentially ritualistic comportment to the world were vigorously suppressed during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) under Mao Zedong. But de-ritualization already took place as a result of the Chinese Revolution of 1911 under Sun Yat-Sen. In the West, while the process of de-ritualization has been generally more gradual, it has been nonetheless drastic. In contrast to this situation, this volume investigates the crucial role ritual plays in constituting the human understanding of their place in the cosmos, the purpose of their lives, and imbues human existence with a more complete sense of meaningfulness.   This volume presents the work of philosophers from both China and the West as they reflect upon the constitutive role that ritual plays in human life. They reflect not only on ritual in general but also on specific Confucian and Christian appreciations of ritual.   This provocative volume is a beacon of warning to Western philosophers, who think they have graduated from the trappings of ritual, and a beacon of hope for Eastern thinkers, who wish to avoid cultural fragmentation. The Editors, both Eastern and Western, have together created a seamless work that not only introduces ritual, but advances an argument for the contribution that ritual makes to cultural renewal. This volume is a work of philosophical thinking about ritual doing, but challenges those who think to realize that the salvation of philosophical thinking rests in the particularity and contingency of ritual doing. Let us hope this volume is widely read, for it points to that which might renew the West. - Jeffrey P. Bishop, Saint Louis University - Jeffrey P. Bishop, Saint Louis University

This highly personal account of a lifetime's spiritual and philosophical enquiry charts the author's journey of faith through contemporary culture. Distinguishing between what she posits as the ˜universal' and the ˜rhapsodic' logos, Tymieniecka interrogates concepts as varied as creativity and the media, joy and suffering, and truth and ambiguity. She contemplates the possibilities and limits of communication between human beings, and outlines what she calls the ˜transnatural destiny' of the human soul. The book asserts that unlike theory, which unfolds a logical continuity, and unlike dialogue, which is directed sequentially upward toward intellectual conclusions, the mode of reflection of the ˜rhapsodic logos' imposes no limits or caps upon its understanding. Instead, the ˜logoic' flow interlaces the rhapsodic cadences of our reflections on reality, in all their innumerable fluctuations, and sifts them to mold the intimate mind/soul inwardness that we experience as faith. The radiative meditations of this ˜rhapsodic logos' weave their way through the entanglements of the mystery of incarnation, the constitutive archetypes, the inwardly sacred, the transnatural destiny of the soul, and finally ascend the  rhapsodic scales toward culminating faith in the Christo-Logos.
