Elements of Confucian thought in the curriculum of Hong Kong secondary schoolsChong, Man-Lee Isabel. January 1998 (has links)
This study investigates the extent to which the elements of Confucian thought, survive and are practiced in the curriculum of Hong Kong secondary schools. It briefly examines the historical background of Confucianism in moral education in China and Hong Kong, examines curriculum guidelines and reference materials issued by the Hong Kong Education Department, and reports on interviews with two supervisors, seven principals and twenty-five teachers. It includes their perceptions of the locus of responsibility for moral education, their assessment of recent curriculum trends, their views on the impact of Confucian values on youth and their speculations on the future of moral education as Hong Kong is reintegrated with mainland China. Overall the study finds that elements of Confucian thought continue to prevail in the teaching of some school subjects and in the quality of school life; however, teachers are generally apprehensive about the erosion of Confucian values in the face of alternative models of moral education and the forces of modernization.

A comprehensive analysis of the discourse between human rights theory and the Chinese Confucian intellectual tradition: John Rawls and Tu Weiming in conversationJohnson, Timothy Matthew 13 September 2013 (has links)
Liberal human rights theory has informed Western political policy for decades. An ascending China challenges Western dominance in political theory and philosophy and forces Western theorists to respond. A comprehensive analysis of Western scholarship on human rights and the Confucian tradition makes it clear that there are many structural and systemic issues within this area of study. It also makes it clear that there have been many potentially useful observations and methodologies suggested throughout the literature that have been obscured. One such approach is applied that brings the political theory of John Rawls and Tu Weiming into conversation. As a result, a more nuanced understanding of the Chinese Confucian intellectual tradition in both Western and Chinese terms can be developed, while important questions are raised about human rights theory.

Anti-Confucian themes in language reforms in Meiji Japan and early Republican China : reexamining Shimazaki Tôson's "The broken commandment" and Lu Xun's "Diary of a madman"Guo, Ping 03 March 2010 (has links)
This thesis examines the anti-Confucian theme in Shimazaki Toson's The Broken Commandment (1906) and Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" (1918) as representative examples of the historical necessity of vernacular language. Applying a Marxist literary critique, I argue that the complex resistance against Confucian morality was the main ideological motivation of literary language reforms among literati in Meiji Japan and early Republican China. The choice of a new written language was inspired by a modern concern for individual sensation as opposed to the spiritual constraints of Confucian morality. The prevalence of nationalism and modernity during the late nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries contributed to the reforms. Integrating socio-historical, biographical and textual analysis, my thesis demonstrates that the vernacular language was both a necessary medium to express inner struggle and an act of rebellion whereby writers abandoned the intellectual world which had been perpetuated by the use of classical language.

The need for approval : a psychological study of the influence of Confucian values on the social behaviour of East AsiansStephen Kin Kwok Cheng January 1997 (has links)
This thesis begins with a critical overview of crosscultural
psychology and a re-examination of the concepts
of emic and etic. It argues that the time has come for
cross-cultural psychology to free itself from the moorings
of its Western, universalistic paradigm and take non-
Western, indigenous psychology seriously, especially that
of East Asia.
To address the need for an East Asian psychology, the
thesis presents an empirical study on the psychological
influence of Confucianism on East Asians. It hypothesises
that the Confucian values of filiality, propriety and
harmony induce a strong need for approval and a range of
approval-seeking behaviours in the individual. In
contrast, the Western values of individuation, autonomy
and conflict induce a strong need for independence and a
range of independence-seeking behaviours.
To test this hypothesis, a 26-item, 5-point Likert scale
was developed and'administered to 1625 university students
across East Asia, which include East Asian samples from
China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia,
Singapore and Taiwan, as well as Caucasian samples from
Australia, United Kingdom and the United States.
The study has confirmed its hypothesis that the Confucian
values of filiality, propriety and harmony characterise
the approval-driven social behaviours of East Asians and
that the values of individuation, autonomy and conflict
characterise the independence-driven social behaviours of
Westerners. However, it has also found that, contrary to
many long-held assumptions, there are significant
differences in the way Confucian values have exerted their
respective influence on the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and
other East Asians.
The findings suggest not only that the culturally induced
need for approval can be used as an overarching construct
for the psychological study of East Asians from an
indigenous perspective, but also that the innovative model
used in this study can be applied to the study of other
indigenous psychologies as well. More significantly, the
study has found that, in contrast to the need for divine
approval which has motivated the achievements of European
Protestants in the past, the need for human approval is
what characterises the achievement motivation and
behaviours of Confucian East Asians today.
