| Sumario: | The controversy on whether Confucianism is “a religion” has been regarded as one of the most controversial issues in the scholarship of Confucianism. The complexity embodied in the controversy highlights the perennial challenge of applying the Western concept of religion to the categorization of a Confucianism that is intrinsically defiant of generalizations derived from Western experiences. This article introduces the latest development of the controversy on Confucian religiosity in Chinese academic communities during the past three decades, illustrates the sociopolitical and cultural factors that have contributed to the resurgence of the controversy, and reflects on its significance to the understanding of Chinese tradition and modernity in the 21st century. |
