Wie die Fiktion eines erfolgreichen viktorianischen Autors zu einem der Hauptmotive esoterisch ausgerichteter Neonazis werden konnte, und was dies über unsere Wissenschafts- und Religionsgeschichte aussagen kann. Die geheimnisvolle Energie »Vril«, erdacht von Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), sollte eigentlich eine satirische Metapher sein. Aufgegriffen und ausgeschmückt von Theosophen und Okkultisten, wurde sie jedoch - in Verbindung mit der »Schwarzen Sonne« - eines der zentralen Motive esoterischer Neonazis. In millionenfach verkaufter populärer Literatur steht »Vril« seit den 60ern zudem für die angeblichen okkulten Machenschaften der Nationalsozialisten. Die erste seriöse Aufarbeitung dieser Geschichte ist nicht nur für das Verständnis des zeitgenössischen Rechtsextremismus und Topoi der populären Kultur wichtig, sondern ermöglicht auch aufschlussreiche Einblicke in die europäische Ideengeschichte.

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 a reactionary 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 de Bary's stature could venture broad answers to the question of the significance of Confucianism in today's world.

This Companion is the first volume to provide a comprehensive introduction, in accessible English, to the Neo-Confucian philosophical thought of representative Chinese thinkers from the eleventh to the eighteenth centuries. It brings together nineteen essays on a range of topics in Neo-Confucian philosophy, embracing natural and speculative philosophy through to virtue ethics and political philosophy. Written for undergraduate and postgraduate university students in philosophy and Chinese history courses, as well as academics, the Companion is distinguished by several features: It demonstrates the key role played by philosophical discourse in Neo-Confucian self-cultivation; it evidences the fundamental connections that were posited between morality in human society and its cosmological and ontological underpinnings; and it provides detailed insights into changing perspectives on key philosophical concepts and their relationship with one another.
