In Singapore; Korea; Taiwan; Japan; and other parts of East and Southeast Asia; as well as China; people are asking; "What does Confucianism have to offer today?" For some; Confucius is still the symbol of areactionary and repressive past; for others; he is the humanist admired by generations of scholars and thinkers; East and West; for his ethical system and discipline. In the face of such complications; only a scholar of Theodore deBary's stature could venture broad answers to the question of the significance of Confucianism in today's world.

Required Reading for Anyone Interested in Scientific SexismBy MewpewOr well; anyone really. Seriously.Schiebinger comprehensively tackles the many ways science was racist and sexist in its beginnings as an academic pursuit; and what that meant for women and people of color. This book is well-researched and highly convincing. While it focuses primarily in Europe; and only on upper-class people; that says a lot about were and how science formed in and of itself.Seriously; pick it up and read it. It will challenge you.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A great introduction to women in the history of scienceBy AFI purchased this book after taking a course on the history of scientific communication; and I'll be holding onto it for years to come. It's a great introduction to some female figureheads in the history of science. if you enjoy this one; I'd recommend another text by Schiebinger: http://www..com/Natures-Body-Gender-Making-Science/dp/081353531X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1369074891sr=8-1keywords=nature%27s+body
