"It is widely claimed that notions of gods and religious beliefs are irrelevant or
inconsequential to early Chinese ("Confucian") moral and political thought. Rejecting
the claim that religious practice plays a minimal philosophical role, Kelly James
Clark and Justin Winslett offer a textual study that maps the religious terrain of
early Chinese texts. They analyze the pantheon of extrahumans, from high gods to ancestor
spirits, discussing their various representations, as well as examining conceptions
of the afterlife and religious ritual. Demonstrating that religious beliefs in early
China are both textually endorsed and ritually embodied, this book goes on to show
how gods, ancestors and afterlife are philosophically salient. The summative chapter
on the role of religious ritual in moral formation shows how religion forms a complex
philosophical system capable of informing moral, social, and political conditions"
