Description
Summary:This essay criticizes a book of ample theological research written by Chinese theologian Paulos Huang, who embraces certain Western assumptions about Confucian religion. Two of these assumptions are presented in detail and criticized, namely, the belief in a deterioration of Chinese culture through history from theism into atheism, and the view of the Confucian worldview as metaphysical monism.
