Tu Wei-ming is the foremost exponent of Confucian thought in the United States today. Over the last two decades he has been developing a creative scholarly interpretation of Confucian humanism as a living tradition. The result is a work of interpretive brilliance that revitalizes Confucian thought, making it a legitimate concern of contempoary philosophcial reflections. Confucian Thought: Selfhood as Creative Transformation is a collection of Tus seminal essays. It is a sustained deliberation on the substance and worth of the Confucian conception of personhood. This analysis complements Tus highly acclaimed Humanity and Self-Cultivation: Essays in Confucian Thought as a continued expression of his deepening understanding of Confucianism voiced through various perennial human concerns. Tu weaves philosophic, historical, anthropological, sociological, and psychological perspectives into a coherent discussion of the Confucian themes that continue to inspire the modern intellectual mind. His is a vital contribution to Chinese thought and religion.

"The 'Moral Universal' from the Perspectives of East Asian Thought" was originally published in Morality as a Biological Phenomenon, edited by Gunther S. Stent, as Life Sciences Research Report 9 of the Dahlem Konferenzen (Berlin, 1978). The article was reprinted, with commentary by Clifford Geertz, in Philosophy East and West, vol. XXXI, no. 3 (July 1981). I am grateful to Professor Geertz for his thought-provoking comments and to the Dahlem Konferenzen for its permission to have the article included in this volume.
