Portraits of Confucius

The Reception of Confucianism from 1560 to 1960

Edited by Kevin DeLapp, Converse College, USA Portraits of Confucius presents a major collection of Western perspectives on Confucius and Confucianism, stretching from the Jesuit missions of the 16th-century to the dawn of modern cross-cultural scholarship in the early 20th-century.

For scholars and students interested in the life, work and teachings of Confucius and the West's reception of Chinese philosophy, this is an indispensable reference resource.
