The Aura of Confucius is a ground-breaking study that reconstructs the remarkable history of Kongzhai, a shrine founded on the belief that Confucius' descendants buried the sage's robe and cap a millennium after his death and far from his home in Qufu, Shandong. Improbably located on the outskirts of modern Shanghai, Kongzhai featured architecture, visual images, and physical artifacts that created a 'Little Queli,' a surrogate for the temple, cemetery, and Kong descendants' mansion in Qufu. Centered on the Tomb of the Robe and Cap, with a Sage Hall noteworthy for displaying sculptural icons and not just inscribed tablets, Kongzhai attracted scholarly pilgrims who came to experience Confucius's beneficent aura. Although Kongzhai gained recognition from the Kangxi emperor, its fortunes declined with modernization, and it was finally destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Unlike other sites, Kongzhai has not been rebuilt and its history is officially forgotten, despite the Confucian revival in contemporary China.

The essays collected in this volume establish Confucian role ethics as a term of art in the contemporary ethical discourse. The holistic philosophy presented here is grounded in the primacy of relationality and a narrative understanding of person, and is a challenge to a foundational liberal individualism that has defined persons as discrete, autonomous, rational, free, and often self-interested agents. Confucian role ethics begins from a relationally constituted conception of person, takes family roles and relations as the entry point for developing moral competence, invokes moral imagination and the growth in relations that it can inspire as the substance of human morality, and entails a human-centered, atheistic religiousness that stands in sharp contrast to the Abrahamic religions.

On ne connaît aucun écrit de Confucius, ses aphorismes ayant été recueillis sous la forme d’« Entretiens » par ses disciples. Néanmoins, depuis deux millénaires et demi les enseignements du philosophe ont non seulement imprégné la civilisation chinoise et les cultures d’Extrême-Orient, mais ont aussi inspiré philosophes et penseurs en Occident. Cet ouvrage de Herbert Fingarette, dont l’impact à sa publication en 1972 a été immédiat et majeur dans le monde anglophone, était attendu de longue date par le public francophone. Il permet d’accéder à l’enseignement de Confucius de façon simple et directe, puisque les idées du célèbre philosophe y sont essentiellement abordées par le biais de ses paroles rapportées par ses disciples, les dépouillant de toute interprétation anachronique ou encombrante. Selon Fingarette, Confucius préserve le caractère sacré du rite, mais enraciné dans la sacralité de l’existence humaine elle-même, et en le dégageant de sa gangue religieuse. La présentation et les commentaires de Charles Le Blanc viennent enrichir le texte en situant Herbert Fingarette dans le contexte général des études confucéennes et orientales, soulignant ainsi son actualité et sa profonde originalité.
