As the second volume of a two-volume seminal work on contemporary New Confucianism in China, this book focuses on six leading thinkers of this intellectual movement in the 20th century. Contemporary New Confucianism refers to the Confucianism or Confucian thought that has emerged in China since the 1920s, which aims to revive the spirituality of Confucianism in a changing society. This volume introduces the philosophical thought of Zhang Junmai, Feng Youlan, He Lin, Fang Dongmei, Tang Junyi, and Mou Zongsan, including Zhang's political philosophy and comparative philosophy, Feng's transformation of Chinese philosophy, He's idea of culture and "spirit-only idealism," Fang's comparative philosophy, Tang's idea of moral self and theory of human spiritual realms, and Mou's new ontology for Confucianism. It analyzes their divergences and the contemporary relevance of their thought in terms of revisiting and transforming traditional Chinese philosophy and reconciling Chinese and Western traditions. This title will appeal to scholars and students of modern and contemporary Confucianism, intellectual history, philosophy and thought of contemporary China, and comparative philosophy.

A number of systems for alphabetizing Mandarin Chinese have been developed in the past two centuries. Conflictingly, Taiwan uses all of them and none of them. Foreigners who get their first exposure to Chinese in Taiwan are frequently led to severe mispronunciations of names and places, while street names change spelling from block to block. Unlike the mainland Chinese — who use an efficient, standardized system called Hanyu Pinyin — there is a reluctance among the Taiwanese to share their Chinese names with foreigners, and that they have institutionalized mispronunciations of their own cities, such as Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung. They have no spelling system to share with foreigners...
