(WR) Return of Confucius

Nice article in the current New Yorker magazine about a resurgence of interest in Confucius in contemporary China. I'd give you the link, but it's behind a paywall. I think the library still subscribes to the paper edition (and maybe there's even a way into the magazine through the Library site -- haven't tried that), but it's good enough that I might photocopy it for you later in the course. As I said, we're not really here to study contemporary manifestations of the traditions we're reading, but snippets of the present can sometimes help us grasp the past.
