Confucianism and the Continuation of Anti-Enlightenment

By Xiaojie Chen

The book emphasises that the modern Japanese and Chinese use of Qimeng (啟蒙) to translate and interpret "Enlightenment" predominantly reflects the second interpretation of "Enlightenment"(i.e.Anti-Enlightenment), which betrays the spirit of equality - the most revolutionary facet of the 18th-century Enlightenment.
