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!
