The Journal of Confucian Philosophy and Culture covers confucianism, confucian thought and culture, the history and contemporary relevance of confucianism, and confucian philosophy. It also explores confucianism and East Asian cultures, and confucianism from a modern perspective, cautioning against equating it solely with China or fitting it into a Western liberal democratic mold.
