This third volume of Princeton Readings in Religions demonstrates that the 'three religions' of China--Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism (with a fourth, folk religion, sometimes added)--are not mutually exclusive: they overlap and interact with each other in a rich variety of ways. The volume also illustrates some of the many interactions between Han culture and the cultures designated by the current government as 'minorities.'Stephen Tieser provides a general introduction in which the major themes and categories of the religions of China are analyzed. The book concludes with a section on 'earthly conduct.'
