    Bayle: Confucianism and China
    (Springer Cham, 2024-12) García Alonso, Marta María; García Alonso, Marta María; Laursen, John Christian
    The context in which a philosophical discussion takes place is essential for its comprehension. In the case of Bayle's theses on China, the debate surrounding the Jesuit missions in the East (Gernet 1982, Laven 2011, Mungello 2009, Pinot 1932, Zoli 1989) enables our understanding. The Rites Controversy encompasses two interconnected theological questions. First, it addresses the feasibility of translating Christian concepts into Chinese and equating the Chinese sky god with the Christian god. Second, it debates the extent to which newly baptized converts can continue to participate in Confucian funeral rites, a matter of great significance as many converts were members of the ruling elite who had adopted Confucianism as their political ideology since 136 CE.
