This discourse has led to a proliferation of contending conceptions of \u003ci\u003eruxue\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as proposals for rejuvenating it to make it a vital cultural and psycho-spiritual resource in the modern world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis study aims to show how \u003ci\u003eruxue\u003c\/i\u003e has been conceived in order to assess the achievements of this enterprise; to identify which aspects of \u003ci\u003eru\u003c\/i\u003e thought and values academics find viable, and why; to highlight the dynamics involved in the ongoing cross-fertilization between academics in China and Taiwan; and to examine the relationship between these activities and cultural nationalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFour key arguments are developed. First, the process of intellectual cross-fertilization and rivalry between scholars has served to sustain academic interest in \u003ci\u003eruxue\u003c\/i\u003e. Second, contrary to conventional wisdom, party-state support in the PRC does not underpin the continuing academic discourse on \u003ci\u003eruxue\u003c\/i\u003e. Third, cultural nationalism, rather than state nationalism, better explains the nature of this activity. Fourth, academic discourse on \u003ci\u003eruxue\u003c\/i\u003e provides little evidence of robust philosophical creativity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49533913039121,"sku":"GOR005837385","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49766320111889,"sku":"CIN0849918723G","price":4.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50369139933457,"sku":"CIN0849918723A","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50591700549905,"sku":"CIN0849918723VG","price":4.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0849918723.jpg?v=1751424647","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/lead-like-jesus-book-ken-h-blanchard-9780849918728","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
