Summary This book collects the 25 most important articles written by Professor Tang since the 1980s, dealing extensively with issues of Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity and Chinese culture. In these articles, Professor Tang proves his value as a worthy successor to the Chinese philosophical tradition, while also open to the latest trends of thought both at home and abroad. ℗ℓ The late Professor Tang Yijie (1927-2014) was a prominent professor at℗ℓPeking University and Chinaℓ́ℓs top scholar on philosophy and℗ℓChinese studies.℗ℓHe spearheaded the Confucian Canon project (**), which seeks to compile all known classical works on℗ℓConfucianism, comparable in scope and significance to the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries (****), the largest collection of books on Chinese history, which was commissioned by the℗ℓQianlong Emperor℗ℓin the 18th century. Throughout his life, Professor Tang published scores of books and more than one hundred articles, offering enlightening insights into how to deal with issues that have historically troubled and continue to trouble people in modern society. ℗ℓ Among his numerous innovations, Professor Tang is especially remembered for introducing the concept of ℓ́ℓharmony in diversityℓ́ℓơ̐ℓ****ơ̐ℓ. In the context of ℓ́ℓthe clash of civilizationsℓ́ℓ championed by Samuel P. Huntington, Tang argued for harmony in diversity, holding that this principle can offer some clues to help enable peoples, nations, and regions with different cultural traditions to develop together while remaining unique. note: * represents Chinese character, please refer to BCC file. ℗ℓ
