I recently interviewed Professor Daniel A Bell, who teaches in the philosophy department at Tsinghua University in Beijing, regarding the revival of Confucianism in modern day China. As some of you know I've studied Chinese history for some time now, explicitly Chinese political theory, in part because I feel it is relevant and applicable to global geopolitics. In this interview, Prof Bell and I are able to really get into some substantive issues with regard to the way in which China is changing, and the role Confucian, and to a lesser extent Taoist thought is affecting contemporary society.
