On the whole, Muller's book is an important new resource that can serve as a great introduction to the historical developments and meanings of the Buddhist-Confucian discourses in premodern East Asia. With his masterful translation of the polemical essays of a Buddhist monk and a Confucian scholar-official, the book can be recommended for undergraduate or graduate students and scholars in East Asian studies and religious studies who are interested in interreligious relations.-- H-Buddhism This edition is an excellent translation of three pivotal primary sources that will allow them to receive the greater attention they deserve in English-language discussions of Korean, East Asian, and comparative philosophy. These texts clearly illustrate how concepts with universal import can be found in East Asian texts if we read them as we read Western texts and not as merely limited to particular local contexts.-- Dao Korea's Great Buddhist-Confucian Debate is an outstanding translation of three seminal essays and contains much fruitful material when approached from the pedagogical standpoint of an instructor seeking thought-provoking materials on East Asian thought and culture that can be used in the development of critical thinking skills.-- Journal of the American Academy of Religion Korea's Great Buddhist Confucian Debate: The Treatises of Chong Tojon (Sambong) and Hamho Tukt'ong (Kihwa) is a superlative book put together by Korean Studies scholar and translator A.
