About this product
Product Information
The Jesuit mission to China more than four hundred years ago has been the subject of sustained scholarly investigation for centuries. Focusing on the concepts of friendship and hospitality as they were both theorized and practiced by the Jesuit missionaries and their Confucian hosts, this book offers a new, comparative, and deconstructive reading of the interaction between these two vastly different cultures. Dongfeng Xu analyzes how the Jesuits presented their concept of friendship to achieve their evangelical goals and how the Confucians reacted in turn by either displaying or denying hospitality. Challenging the hierarchical view in traditional discourse on friendship and hospitality by revealing the irreducible otherness as the condition of possibility of the two concepts, Xu argues that one legacy of the Jesuit-Confucian encounter has been the shared recognition that cultural differences are what both motivated and conditioned cross-cultural exchanges and understandings.

Reviews
"With his two-faced approach, Xu is giving insight into the dynamics of intercultural and interreligious exchange that takes both sides under scrutiny ... this is an interesting contribution both at the historical, but also at the theoretical level that will be appreciated by historians specialized in this particular phase of early modern history. Likewise, scholars from disciplines such as (intercultural) philosophy and religious studies will have much to gain from this." -- Religious Studies Review "...the deconstructivist analysis of the personal interactions between the Jesuits and the literati with its cultural and political implications truly brings new and important insights." -- Chinese Studies, "...the deconstructivist analysis of the personal interactions between the Jesuits and the literati with its cultural and political implications truly brings new and important insights." -- Chinese Studies
