In Building Bridges between Chan Buddhism and Confucianism, Diana Arghirescu explores the close connections between Buddhism and Confucianism during China's Song period (960–1279). Drawing on In Essays on Assisting the Teaching written by Chan monk-scholar Qisong (1007–1072), Arghirescu examines the influences between the two traditions. In his writings, Qisong made the first substantial efforts to compare the major dimensions of Confucian and Chan Buddhist thought from a philosophical view, seeking to establish a meaningful and influential intellectual and ethical bridge between them.Arghirescu meticulously reveals a "Confucianized" dimension of Qisong's thought, showing how he revisited and reinterpreted Confucian terminology in his special form of Chan aimed at his contemporary Confucian readers and auditors "who do not know Buddhism." Qisong's form of eleventh-century Chan, she argues, is unique in its cohesive or nondual perspective on Chinese Buddhist, Confucian, and other philosophical traditions, which considers all of them to be interdependent and to share a common root.Building Bridges between Chan Buddhism and Confucianism is the first book to identify, examine, and expand on a series of Confucian concepts and virtues that were specifically identified and discussed from a Buddhist perspective by a historical Buddhist writer. It represents a major contribution in the comparative understanding of both traditions.

The study of religions is essential for understanding other cultures, building a sense of belonging in a multicultural world and fostering a global intercultural dialogue. Exploring Chinese religions as one interlocutor in this dialogue, Diana Arghirescu engages with Song-dynasty Confucian and Buddhist theoretical developments through a detailed study of the original texts of the Chan scholar-monk Qisong (1007-1072) and the Neo-Confucian master Zhu Xi (1130-1200). Starting with these figures, she builds an interpretive theory focusing on “ethical interrelatedness” and proposes it as a theoretical tool for the study of the Chinese religious traditions.By actively engaging with other contemporary theories of religion and refusing to approach Chinese religions with Western frameworks, Arghirescu’s comparative perspective makes it possible to uncover differences between the various Western and Chinese cultural presuppositions upon which these theories are built. As such, this book breaks new ground in the methodology of religious studies, comparative philosophy and furthers our understanding of the Confucian-Buddhist interaction.

An intercultural philosophical examination of two major ethical qualities – self-governance and leadership – in Zhu Xi’s Neo-Confucian and Aristotle’s ethics.In this study of comparative ethics Diana Arghirescu analyses the specific ways in which qualities are conceived and put into practice in two culturally different ethical traditions. Developing a textual dialogue between translations of the Neo-Confucian master Zhu Xi’s (1130-1200) authoritative classic commentaries on the ancient Four Books and the corpus of Aristotelian ethics, Arghirescu offers a substantial and innovative comparative analysis of the traditions. The approach reconceives the task of intercultural communication, unveiling distinguishing features of the Chinese and Western interpretations of their two ethical notions.By identifying cultural presuppositions embedded in these translations of Zhu Xi’s Chinese classical texts, Arghirescu's philosophical examination of ethical qualities in Neo-Confucianism and Ancient Greek philosophy challenges traditional ways of thinking and assumptions found in philosophy. Alert to the limitations of the comparative approach and engaging with the latest work in sinology, this cross-cultural study presents the origins of the diverse cultural sensibilities guiding people’s life habits and decision-making process.
