Confucianisme et taoïsme est l'un des volets de la grande trilogie consacrée par Max Weber à « l'éthique économique des religions mondiales », entre 1915 et 1920, avec Hindouisme et bouddhisme et Le Judaïsme antique. Dix ans après L'Éthique protestante et l'esprit du capitalisme, ces études comparatives s'efforcent d'éclairer l'originalité occidentale par le dehors. Elles reprennent le problème du lien entre le protestantisme ascétique et le développement d'un capitalisme bourgeois rationnel à partir de configurations religieuses et sociales profondément différentes. Chacun de ces cas permet d'interroger la façon dont « la prise de position pratique à l'égard du monde » impliquée dans l'action religieuse retentit sur les « conduites de vie » et, en particulier, sur les comportements économiques. C'est spécialement vrai de Confucianisme et taoïsme dont le dernier chapitre, « Confucianisme et puritanisme », constitue l'un des exposés les plus vigoureux et les plus aboutis de la thèse wébérienne. Mais, au-delà de sa problématique d'origine, Confucianisme et taoïsme reste un modèle d'analyse de la formation et du fonctionnement d'une mentalité à l'échelle d'une civilisation. L'examen de la bureaucratie chinoise et du type de l'État patrimonial est de premier intérêt pour le politiste, comme le chapitre dédié au « corps des lettrés » constitue l'un des textes de base de la sociologie des intellectuels. C'est dire que, indépendamment de la connaissance de la Chine et de la science des religions, c'est un authentique classique des sciences sociales au XXe siècle qui est ici rendu accessible au lecteur français.

Any consideration of China's cultural modernity must begin with a rethinking of traditional Chinese civilization in its orientation and the problems that it has to face in the modern age. This book examines how Confucian traditions have shaped modernity in East Asia. A leading sociologist, Ambrose Y. C. King discusses how China and East Asia developed a model of modern civilization distinct from the Western model of modernization which involves not only a process of deconstructing the cultural tradition but also a process of reconstructing it. He shows how the experience of modernization diverges within different Chinese societies, namely Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan. By highlighting the impact of Confucianism on the direction of modernity in Chinese societies, he argues that Confucianism contains the seeds of modernization and transformation and that in the right institutional settings these seeds could bear fruit to influence positively the course of development. The chapters of the book also explore Confucian networks and the development of capitalist economies, democratic governance, and moral education. The author focuses his analyses on how Confucian ideas and values underpinning the foundation of East Asian societies including social civility, political governance, the role of the family, individual self-cultivation, and moral regulation, matter to the modern social and political transformations of Chinese societies today.

Confucianism is the guiding creed for a quarter of mankind, yet hardly anyone has explained it in plain terms - until now. Written in a style both intelligible and enjoyable for the global audience, The Great Equal Society distils the core ideas of the major Confucian classics and shows how their timeless wisdom can be applied to the modern world. It also introduces pragmatic suggestions emanating from Confucius and his followers for ensuring good governance, building a humane economy and educating moral leaders. The book's core message of inner morality, first expounded by Confucius millennia
