Confucianism and the Continuation of Anti-Enlightenment

By Xiaojie Chen

Book Overview

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.
