- W788968221 abstract "The immediate concern of this thesis is to understand the role played byConfucianism in the capitalist development of the East Asian NISs. In pursuit of thisaim, it focuses on the relationship between Confucian political philosophy and stateintervention in economic activities, on Confucian family practice and its links tomodem organisations, on the Confucian emphasis on frugality and hard work and thework ethic, and on the Confucian stress on knowledge and high level modemeducation. It contends that through these mechanisms contemporary Confucianvalues have helped to facilitate the development of capitalist order and economicgrowth in the East Asian NISs.The thesis also explores the Confucian tradition and its modern transformations. Ittraces the historical evolution of Confucianism and shows how, more recently, it haschanged in response to the challenge of capitalist development. It further identifiesthe contemporary forms of Confucian values and illustrates their variations acrossdifferent East Asian societies. This line of enquiry is pursued empirically through ananalysis of the development of Confucian themes in one of the principal spaces forpublic commentary and debate on economic, social and political issues - the popularpress. The present analysis is one of the first to investigate the practical deploymentof Confucian themes in everyday public discourse.The thesis approaches the questions in a Weberian tradition, which takes culture asan explanatory variable in social change, and recognises the influence of socioeconomicconditions on cultural change at the same time. It believes that change isan integrated process which involves all sectors of society. During this processcultural, social, political and economic forces compete and interact with each otherwithin the specific contexts that conditioned the change. The capitalist development in the East Asian NISs is a process which involves theinteraction between Confucianism and capitalism. Capitalism failed to develop in theFar East when it first emerged, due to the inhibitions of traditional Confucianism.But after it had triumphed in the West and been introduced to these societies by thecolonisers, Confucianism could no longer resist the force of capitalist modernity, ithad no choice but to adapt to the new situations. As a result, Confucian cultureabsorbed the idea of profit seeking, competition and rationalisation of economicactivity, but retained its emphasis on collectiveness, family, and harmony. Combinedwith the continuing Confucian emphasis on education, merit, hard work, disciplineand high achievement motivation, these values form a potent underpinning foreconomic growth. And this force has given rise to a special kind of capitalism in theEast Asian NISs." @default.
