Hu, Minghui, and Johan Elverskog, eds.Cosmopolitanism in China, 1600-1950
In this diverse and rich collection of essays,the authors challenge a common but misleading conception about Confucianism in China,that is,that Confucianism was inward-looking,ethnocentric,and static.The essays are inspired by Joseph R.Levenson”s observation that,”When Confucianism was vital,it was cosmopolitan But when China ceased to be the world and became a nation,or struggled to become one,Confucianism was provincial in that larger world that contained the Chinese nation.” This edited volume aims to achieve two goals:first,to ”shed new light on Chinese history,”moving beyond ”the simple recognition of cultural,ethnic,intellectual,and linguistic exchanges” that defined the Qing and the early Republican period;second,to ”problematize some of the theorizing about cosmopolitanism” (p.3).
