Since its arrival into China during the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE), Islam and its traditions have become an inextricable part of the fabric of the Chinese tradition. By the time of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644 CE), Chinese Islam had evolved its own indigenous identity and, by the seventeenth century, specifically Chinese formulations of Islamic teachings began to emerge. This edited volume presents the most authoritative contemporary scholarship on the topic of the Islam-Confucian synthesis in China. It introduces to an international audience the hybridization of traditions throughout the millennia of Chinese history. The experience of the Islamic-Confucian synthesis is a historical example of cross-cultural thinking and mutual borrowing. It testifies to the fact that there is no incommensurability between cultures that cannot ultimately be accommodated. In this accommodation is the potential for mutual and creative growth, novelty, cultural renaissance, and the flourishing of the human spirit.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 372gTranslator: Tianyi Zhang, Stephen Nashef, Chongning ZhangContributor: Zongping Sha (Edited by), Yihong Liu (Contributions by), Guiping Yang (Contributions by), Cheuk Yin Lee (Contributions by), Tianyi Zhang (Translated by), Stephen Nashef (Translated by), Chongning Zhang (Translated by), Mingliang Ma (Contributions by), Sachiko Murata (Foreword by), Shuchen Xiang (Edited by)Genre: HistoryAuthor: Yihong LiuRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
