Secular Reason as a Tool of the Early Jesuit Mission to China
No full textThis paper provides an investigation into Jesuits’ use of secular dialectical strategies during the early part of their evangelization mission in China. In order to prove the relevance of rhetoric stratagems – i. e. scientific verification, logic and universalism of norms – in their attack against Buddhism, this article examines a neglected text, Posthumous Disputes (Bianxue yidu 辯學遺牘). While the Posthumous Disputes (PD) was improperly attributed to Ricci, it is a prime example of Ricci’s accommodation method. Documenting the first real confrontation between a Buddhist and a Christian in China, this text provides an extraordinary window into the first dispute between Europe and China. The secular method of accommodation modelled by Ricci to convert Chinese literati was grounded in the universality of reason that he inherited from Aristotle and Aquinas and the fascination with Western science and techniques. The author uses the universality of reason to both reject Buddhism and Daoism as irrational, unscientific, and non-universal and to present the Christian faith as the most rational doctrine

Gaspare Ambrogio e Boiardo lirico
No full textThe article highlights the memory of Matteo Maria Boiardo's Amorum libri tres in Gaspare Ambrogio Visconti's lyrical production, and in particular in his Rithimi, showing how Boiardo is treated as an authoritative model, even if to a degree not comparable to Petrarca and Giusto de' Conti. Different kinds of literary debts are identified: from those of a more properly interdiscursive nature to those that expose in the incipit the memory of Boiardo to those that have possible structural implications. It is also shown how contacts with the Amorum libri are sometimes part of a relationship with other authors, which could also include a vast anonymous collection of the Este area, the so-called Canzoniere Costabili

Moral Education and Ideology: The Revival of Confucian Values and the Harmonious Shaping of the New Chinese Man
No full textIn this paper, we will investigate the re-emergence of Confucianism in contemporary China as a complex intersection of political, cultural, educational and popular perspectives. This resurgence is neither a kind of Chinese Neoclassicism nor a nostalgic backwardness, instead it is the emblem of the new China’s identity. Confucius and Confucianism, violently despised as the remains of feudalism since the May Fourth Movement and during Maoism, are nowadays a fertile source for the fulfilment of “Socialism with Chinese characteristics” (zhongguo tese shehui zhuyi 中国特色社会主义) on both the educational and political levels. We carry out the investigation in three steps: 1. The political rehabilitation of Confucianism as part of the “Chinese dream” (zhongguo meng 中国梦); 2. The common social perception of Confucianism and tradition as a shared and unavoidable background; 3. The definition of two possible Confucianisms (namely New Confucianism and Political Confucianism) and their possible influences on Chinese society and moral education. Our conclusions will deal with Chinese cultural soft power, and the shaping of a new Confucian identity based on both modernity and tradition
