Now that China has asserted its political rights among world nations, it seems natural to ask whether Confucianism as a\u003cbr\u003e philosophy has a modern or even postmodern role to play for building modern China and for enlightening the world. This question is even more meaningful in light of the fact that there is a genuine need felt in China\u003cbr\u003e for a return to its Confucian heritage and vision for purposes of sustaining societal harmonization and reconstructing\u003cbr\u003e cultural identity in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e  Chung-Ying Cheng, Preface: New Confucianism as Philosophy of Humanity and Governance\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Justin Tiwald, Introduction: A Confucian Philosophical Agenda \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chung-ying Cheng, A Transformative Conception of Confucian Ethics: The Yijing, Utility, and Rights\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Justin Tiwald, Dai Zhen’s Defense of Self-Interest \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chenyang Li, Xunzi on the Origin of Goodness: A New Interpretation\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Shirley Chan, Tian (Heaven) in the Guodian Texts (Part I): Natural Order and Moral Norms\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Daniel A.
