- Summary
- "Wan Zhaoyuan analyses how Chinese intellectuals conceived of the relationship between 'science' and 'religion' through in-depth examination of the writings of Kang Youwei, a prominent political reformer and radical Confucian thinker, often referred to by his disciples as the 'Martin Luther of Confucianism'.
