The Confucian renaissance
By Todd Crowell

In his 19th-century classic, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of
Capitalism, German sociologist Max Weber argued that Asian values were
incompatible with the development of a modern economic system. He saw
in the brand of Christianity practiced in northern Europe the only
ethical system with the attributes needed to make capitalism work.

At the beginning of the 20th century, many Asian intellectuals might
have agreed with him. Commenting on Confucianism, the Chinese leftist
thinker, Chen Duxiu, said in 1916, "If we want to build a new society
on the Western model in order to survive in

the world, we must courageously throw away that which is incompatible
with the new belief, the new society, the new state."

History, of course, has proved Weber and Chen wrong. It is now plain
that the most dynamic practitioners of capitalism at the dawn of the
21st century are to be found in Asia. More strikingly, all of them are
located within what might be called a Confucian cultural zone.

China's leaders rediscover Confucianism

BEIJING: Marxism no longer serves as Chinese society's guiding
ideology. But that doesn't mean the end of ideology. Western experts
hope liberal democracy will fill the void, but they will have "joined
Karl Marx," as the Chinese used to say, before that happens.

In China, the moral vacuum is being filled by Christian sects, Falun
Gong and extreme forms of nationalism. But the government considers
that such alternatives threaten the hard-won peace and stability that
underpins China's development, so it has encouraged the revival of
Confucianism.

Like most ideologies, however, Confucianism can be a double-edged
sword.

"Confucius said, 'Harmony is something to be cherished,'" President
Hu
Jintao noted in February 2005. A few months later, he instructed
China's party cadres to build a "harmonious society." Echoing
Confucian themes, Hu said China should promote such values as honesty
and unity, as well as forge a closer relationship between the people
and the government.
