About
'The Confucian Communist Comeback in Contemporary China' with Professor Daniel BellAbstract:
'Few Chinese intellectuals and political reformers turned to Confucianism and Communism for political inspiration at the end of the twentieth century. But both traditions have mounted remarkable comebacks in mainland China. What explains the return of Confucianism and Communism? And what are the implications for Chinese academia and the political system? Drawing on his recent book 'The Dean of Shandong: Confessions of a Minor Bureaucrat at a Chinese University' (Princeton, 2023) - selected as a book of the year by the Financial Times in 2023 - Daniel A. Bell will attempt to answer these questions.'
