China's rise is currently reconfiguring the established global order. Recently, Beijing has been reviving ancient Chinese religious traditions to present a more curated, softer image of the PRC to the world at large. This book examines the resurging influence of the ancient Chinese sacred ethos, exploring how a rejuvenated Confucian-Daoist-Buddhist moral enterprise may shape the evolving character of modern China. It covers subjects ranging from social-political reform to inter-civilizations engagement, and from bioethical issues to environmental concerns. The book also argues for a stronger affirmation of the traditional Chinese ideals of universalism, pluralism, and moderation, as prescriptions to remedy the ills afflicting contemporary China. More broadly, this philosophical and religious studies-based research will serve to deepen the reader's comprehension of the extraordinary changes taking place in China today.
