Earlier in the fall, Sam Crane posted a conference paper of his called “Confucianism in Modern American Life” at his blog. There was a bit of discussion there, as well as a longer response here. This is a subject in which I am very interested, and would certainly welcome any further thoughts anyone wants to share.

New Book: Translation of Chunqiu Fanlu
A major new book is about to be released: the 704-page Luxuriant Gems of the Spring and Autumn (春秋繁露), attributed to Dong Zhongshu; edited and translated by Sarah A. Queen and John S. Major (Columbia University Press). This is a tremendous accomplishment, and should help to further open up post-classical philosophy to broader attention and analysis.
New Book: Returning to Zhu Xi
I just received my copy (as a contributor; not sure it is yet available for order) of David Jones and Jinhe Li, eds., Returning to Zhu Xi: Emerging Patterns within the Supreme Polarity (SUNY, 2015). It looks splendid! Congratulations, David and Jinhe.

Help with locating article
Does anyone know where or how I can get hold of a copy of the following article:
Paola Carrozza. 2002. “A Critical Review of the Principal Studies on the Four Manuscripts Preceding the B Version of the Mawangdui Laozi.” B.C Asian Review, No.13
I’m unable to locate the author and the article.
There is apparently an open access link from the Monumenta Serica website, but it doesn’t work (http://www.monumenta-serica.de/monumenta-serica/library/periodicals/western/b/B-C-Asian-Review.php).
Thanks in advance for help,
