The Analects (Lunyu) is the earliest and most influential record of the teachings of Kongzi (551-479 B.C.E.), known to most Westerners as "Confucius." If we measure influence according to the number of people who have lived their lives according to the teachings of a particular text, there is a good argument to be made that the Analects has been the most influential text in the world. This book argues that we have good reasons to study the Analects as a sacred text, and that doing so sheds light not only on the text and the Confucian tradition, but on what the sacred is, more broadly. It begins by examining what it means for a text to be regarded as sacred in relation to the unique history of this remarkably influential book, and goes on to offer a close study of the Analects, including its structure, its composition and compilation, and the purpose it has served in the Confucian tradition as the earliest and most authoritative record of Kongzi's teachings and conduct. The book further considers the history of the Analects as the most authoritative collection of Confucian teachings which virtually all major Confucians--as well as Chinese thinkers throughout history from the Mohist, Daoist, and Buddhist traditions--responded. This book explores the text, situating its teachings in relation to the religious practices of its time (including Zhou rituals and customs known as li and the veneration of ancestor and nature spirits), and discusses the Analects use and reception both in the periods following its composition and compilation and throughout China's imperial history up through the modern era, including the recent revival of activity in Confucian temples.

Histories of East Asia traditionally emphasize China and Japan, and neglect Korea and Vietnam. Essentially, 20th century East Asia is re-written into the past, as though China and Japan was always the core of East Asian development. This is not at all how East Asia developed. Chinese prehistoric cultures became historic in the 18th century B.C.! Japan was not part of East Asia for over 2300 more years. By studying periods of Chinese unity and disunity, and their effects on China s neighbors, Korea and Vietnam, a distinct culture zone, East Asia, gradually emerged, and slowly included Japan. The main elements of East Asia cultural, social, political, philosophical, religious and linguistic were derived from China, but the others were not minor replicas of China. Each was unique: its people ethnically distinct, from China and each other; its native language, and linguistic blend with Chinese, also unique. Korea and Vietnam resisted Chinese colonization, but adopted and adapted advance Chinese elements to their own needs. Emerging later, Japan underwent wholesale adoption of Tang China s advances, replicated in the 19th century, when Japan was the first East Asian country to modernize. Spanning some thirty-eight centuries, from the 18th century B.C. to 2012 A.D., this diversity with common elements derived from China, is a major theme of this work. It is often overlooked by those who prefer general views, based on surface impressions, to more complex realities. The former often lead to mistakes; the latter become the basis for more sound understanding. After all, these four countries and people share the eastern end of the Eurasian continent, yet each country s geographic situation is also unique. As the twenty-first century continues to unfold, this new approach to East Asia should help to produce clearer and more accurate understanding of this important world region.

Why are not enough the first three AERA of our previous AERAS SYSTEMS, namely: AERA OF PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 1) AERA OF SAPIENTOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 2) AERA OF VIDEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 3) Being thus necessary a fourth thinkable and re-thinkable Creative System, the one of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM (AI), which in German Language is entitled as KÜNSTLISCHE INTELLIGENZ (KI), and both AI and KI are under the HYBRID INTELLIGENCE (of Human and Artificial alike or Biology encoded through Technology), re-encoded as HI! Therefore, all three signification, AI-KI-HI, are provable into the sameness extra enlargement of the Classic Human Brain (CHB), which is improved in seconds, in minutes and in hours by Abstract Developer / Entwickler of Human Sapiens (by using accordingly, English – Deutsch and Denglish! This impetus in development of technological systems more and more intelligent, more and more comprehensive, more and more diversified, more and more amplified, comprising here, at least for the time being, information, inspiration, intuition and initiation (Great Four IN-), widespread in areas of science, technology, industry (all three as SCITECH INDUSTRY), of art (ARSSAPIENS INDUSTRY), of Sport (SPORTSAPIENS INDUSTRY), by rethinking thus the Anthropology, the Sapientology, the Cosmology (including here the one of PERSONALISIERTE KOSMOLOGY), of astronomy, of geology and biology, into which all of them means ultimately, another bigger step in development of duality Human-Machine, or a duality of Human-Technology, including the branches of Human-Over-Human-Robotics, or Humanoid-Robotics all as SAPIENS INDUSTRY! The man itself, the human itself, the Sapient-o-Human development, its experiences, its visions, its outcomes, can make symbiosis with oneself, a crossing with its nature of creativity, within the nature-physis of endless philosophy, with tools out of stone, with tools out of bones, the tools out of hood, or of synthetic feature, underlining once again the TOOL - MAKER - MAN, as Homo Faber, or better says, Homo Faber Sapiens, by taking the SAPIENS LIBRARY, wherever He / She goes! But now, within the present data, out of its own virtual reality and creativity, all being improved by the man itself and the machine itself, which machine might in turn overcome the man, by confronting the man itself, by changing and challenging even the human itself, even the Human Sapient oneself in its own destiny and purposes… Could be or could become the Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI) the source and resource, the roots of final ending of the Sapient as Species on the Earth? By taking into account all probabilities and possibilities of the present daily evolution and revolution of the hyper-complexity of Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI), a recombination of the man itself with a machine created by the man itself, could develop a symbiosis of human-machine, which overcomes the Classic Species Sapiens (CSS), who dominated the life on Earth in the last of ca. 50.000 years, by entering within the Species Sapiens Techne (SST), into which the Sapiens still dominate the Universe of Technology, by reaching out in some area even the domination of Technology over Sapiens as TSS! In this way, within Artificial Intelligence (seen and analyzed Three Times Intelligence, i.e., AI-KI-HI, through English - Deutsch - Denglish), the letters themselves, the numbers themselves and the signs themselves, are becoming the WORD itself, through which the WORD itself is improved to the level of CONCEPT itself, and the WORD-CONCEPT DUALITY in their speeding up developing, in their accelerated and amplifying structures, is giving the outcome of the BOOK itself, in its CLASSICAL BOOK (CB), in its digital book as E-BOOK, or in its VIRTUAL BOOK as V-BOOK! Only this multitude of the same BOOK in development, of the same BOOK in diversity, is showing the Genesis the Evolution and the revolution (GENEVO) of the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (in its three times of AI - KI - HI), with its versions in German Language as KÜNSTLICHE INTELLIGENZ (KI) and HYBRID INTELLIGENCE (HI), which will be used and reused interchangeably at any reference, or inter-reference or cross-reference in our PEKINENSIS SAPIENS - 1! What really means ENS in our Book of PEKINENSIS SAPIENS (with one – ENS inside the concept of Pekin – ENS - is and one –ENS Sapiens? ENS is a shortages from the Species Sapiens, being thought and rethought as - ENS, i.e., as BEING of the Species Sapiens! Within ENS will be comprise the whole of German Idealist connotation of Being as: A - SEIN = BEING in its maximal generality! B - DASEIN = BEING HERE, on this planetary system! C - MITDASEIN = COBEING HERE, together with all past geological and biological times, influencing and restructuring all basic features of the Planetary Life System! It is possible to rethink the ENS INTO ONESELF RECHATING? Would be ENS a synthesis out of Sapiens! Is ENS a Being (SEIN) out of Sapiens! Is ENS a Being – here (DASEIN) out of Sapiens! Is ENS is a CO – BEING – here (MITDASEIN) out of Sapiens! Is ENS a triad of Being empowering the Sapiens oneself! Is ENS a living self-consciousness of the whole of Sapiens! Is ENS a symbiosis between Sapiens and Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI)! Is ENS the dialectic vector of history of the whole Sapiens, in overcoming oneself towards a better Sapient-o-Technology, towards a Sapient-o-post-human-industry in Art, in Philosophy, in Psychology, in Theology? Is ENS in its own powerful skill-ness of Symphony - in - painting, of Symphony - in - sculpturing, of Symphony - in - Architecture, of Symphony - in - poetry, of Symphony - in - theatre, of Symphony - in - music, through which great masterpieces of ARSSAPIENS to be musicalized, and then reunited into an ensemble of unspeakable Symbology of Human – Sapiens – Technology! Is ENS the vector of SAPIENS SYMPHONY, by using and reusing a complex synthesizer of ARSSAPIENS, without precedence in Human – Sapiens – History? All of them are possible, because the writer is now the reader, the explorer is now the surveyor, the survival is now the fighter, by assuming, by affording a strong competition beyond of its own Species, finally, a semi-human-made-device, an Hybrid Intelligence (HI) between biology and technology, both inspired by Bionics resounding in biology and technology alike! Within these changing and challenging times, the Culture of Human – Sapiens itself, is coming and becoming a Culture of Wholeness (KULTUR DER GESAMTHEIT), including here the Culture of Past times, the Culture of Present Times and the Culture of Future times (KULTUR DER VERGANGENHEIT – KULTUR DE GEGENWART – KULTUR DER ZUKUNFT ((KULTUR DER NÄCHSTENS)).

This book proposes a new concept of “International Leadership with Chinese Characteristics” (ILCC) to interpret China’s role in global governance. The author illustrates how the concept of ILCC is built on the basis of the discussion of Chinese political culture and Chinese worldview of international relations and develops a four-step interpretive process as a guidance for conducting the empirical analysis of the ILCC. The book also shows how Chinese elites conceptually construct and practically implement the ILCC in four case studies – G20, BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)

An in-depth examination of religious practices around the world and the fascinating science behind how they make us healthier. Many religious and spiritual beliefs promote wellness through their practices or stated objectives—for example, focusing on simple living, having compassion for others, vegetarianism, or meditation and mindfulness. This refreshing work provides a review of the world's spiritual perspectives and traditions, and explores how their guiding principles encourage healthy lifestyle choices. An examination of religious and nonreligious perspectives from around the world—from atheism, Confucianism, and Christianity to Islam, Judaism, Shamanism, and Zoroastrianism—reveals how faith beliefs and values influence behavior and inspire healthy living. With contributions from leading international scholars, the chapters include a discussion of Eastern and Western world religions and their practices—such as fasting or the avoidance of alcohol and tobacco—and how they may foster healthfulness. A contemporary analysis of current research findings suggests possible interventions that individuals and health providers may utilize to enhance healthfulness. A final chapter explores the connection between health, illness, and religious and nonreligious perspectives.
