Best book on *Language Imperialism* and *Confucianism* there is. It's about the European battle of control over China's most valuable possessions: its names. Basically, the imperialists re-named everything (even today, they still do). Little known fact: Confucius and the other Chinese thinkers are original *shengren*. A very unique, un-European concept, like Indian *bodhisattvas* and *buddhas*. Today, in Europe *shengren* are conveniently called saints or philosophers, two Western concepts. The book calls for a re-visit and revival of the *shengren*. Good luck with that!
