These 16 essays address the ecological crisis and the question of Confucianism from three perspectives: the historical describes the tradition's views of nature, social ethics, and cosmology; a dialogical approach links Confucianism to other traditions; an examination of engaged Confucianism looks at its involvement in concrete ecological issues.

Confucianism demonstrates a remarkable wealth of resources for rethinking human-earth relations. This second volume in the series on religions of the world and the environment includes sixteen essays that address the ecological crisis and the question of Confucianism from three perspectives: the historical describes this East Asian tradition's views of nature, social ethics, and cosmology, which may shed light on contemporary problems; a dialogical approach links Confucianism to other philosophic and religious traditions; an examination of engaged Confucianism looks at its involvement in concrete ecological issues.
