Publisher's Synopsis

"A critique and response to Max Weber's 'The Religion of China,' arguing that sagehood, implying the transformation of the social order, was taken as a personal goal by Neo-Confucians, producing an 'extreme ethical tension' that later provided the impetus for modernization"--J. Carmen.
