“Confucianism is a learning civilization rather than a missionary one. The Analects by Confucius opens not with commandments or conversion, but with the delight of learning: ‘To learn and practice constantly—is this not a pleasure?’ Learning is seen as an inner fulfillment rather than a rule imposed on others. Moral influence arises from ongoing self-cultivation, allowing character itself to become a quiet source of resonance.
Therefore, Confucianism is a dialogical rather than dialectical civilization. It aims for understanding rather than victory, resonance rather than domination. This outlook makes it an inclusive civilization, not a closed one, capable of coexisting with differences without erasing them”, says Jianbao Wang, Director of the Center for the Humanities and Business Ethics at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business and student of the renowned philosopher Tu Weiming.
In this Radio evolve we will speak with Prof. Jianbao Wang about the ethics and spiritualty of Modern Confucianism, and the relationship and differences of Western and Chinese philosophy and spiritual thinking.
