Description

East and West: Confucianism and Christianity is the third book in the seminal series by diplomat and scholar Y. J. Choi comparing Eastern and Western civilizations on an equal footing rather than allowing West-centric thinking to color our view of the East. Examining how each culture defines the relationships between humans and nature and between mind and body, Choi turns to the human-human relationship as determined by Confucianism in the East and Christianity in the West. Confucius and Jesus taught the same ethics: love each other. But with Christianity evolving out of Judaism, which emphasizes the principle "obey your God," the history of the West is full of conflicts between these two cardinal principles. Meanwhile, Confucianism, in harmony with Taoism, focuses exclusively on the human-human relationship without any divine intervention, proposing ethics as the only principle governing human relationships. These disparate approaches to this fundamental relationship are at the root of the many differences between the Eastern and Western civilization, such as Eastern natural philosophy versus Western supernatural religion, and Eastern ethics versus Western law. With the rise of East Asia, an insightful, in-depth examination of this fascinating culture is of great importance to today's global citizens.
