Module 4 Book Review 1
T.R. Reid, Confucius
Lives Next Door: What Living In The East Teaches Us About Living In the West
The first Book Review
is based upon required course readings that offer contemporary accounts of the
lived experience of Confucianism and Islam.
The reviews call for you to consider the contemporary expressions of

practices of these faith traditions could be introduced and implemented into

Confucian Key Relationships and corresponding 10 Appropriate Attitudes; the
Confucian Doctrine of the Mean; Rectification; etc.
