( Journal of Chinese Religions , 2012) Anyone who comes out of a course based on this book will have not simply an informed sense of Confucius and his legacy but also a critical sense of where that legacy is open to dispute or re-evaluation. -- T. H. Barrett, University of London This is an excellent survey of the history of Confucianism, incorporating philosophical issues and development and the received histories of key figures in the tradition. -- Jennifer L Oldstone-Moore, Wittenberg University
