Sommario/riassunto

Reflections on Chinese Culture presents a curated collection of Professor Lou Yulie‘s seven seminal lectures, offering profound insights into the essence of China‘s cultural heritage. This work examines the foundational concepts— including the Confucian code of ethics, the beliefs of Chinese people, and the philosophical unity of Heaven and humanity. Within a broader context, the book primarily addresses three key questions: Does Confucian code of ethics merely serve as an oppressive system? Can Confucianism be classified as a religion? Has Chinese civilization demonstrated creative limitations? Through rigorous analysis, it challenges conventional perspectives while vividly illustrating the enduring collective consciousness in Chinese life, the



group-centered values that have shaped societal structures, the integrative nature of traditional Chinese thought, and its profound humanistic legacy. This volume serves as an indispensable resource for scholars advancing their Sinological research and general readers seeking to understand the contemporary relevance of tradition Chinese culture. Embark on an intellectual journey to discover the multifaceted richness of China‘s cultural traditions through this masterful work. Yulie Lou is a renowned professor of philosophy at Peking University, a member of International Confucian Association, and a devoted guardian of excellent traditional Chinese Culture. He has annotated a series of Chinese classics, including Daodejing (or The Classic Book of Integrity and the Way ) and I Ching (orThe Book of Changes), and written among other books Lectures on the Methodology of Religious Research and The Fundamental Spirit of Chinese culture.
