2 Hans-Georg Gadamer defined “horizons” as the situated and perspectival nature of knowing and pointed to the open and dynamic nature of horizons: He argued that “the fusion of horizons” reveals the unity of past and present. See Hans-Georg Gadamer, Truth and Method, trans. Joel Weinsheimer and Donald G. Marshall, 2nd rev. ed. (New York: Crossroad, 1992), 302, 306.

Full disclosure, I am also a participant in that research team.

6 Ji has presented that argument in detail in a special issue devoted to the issue of education in East Asian societies: Ji Zhe, “Introduction: le jiao recomposé. L'éducation entre religion et politique dans la modernité chinoise” [Introduction: Rethinking jiao. Education between religion and politics in Chinese modernity], Extrême-Orient Extrême Occident, no. 33 (2011): 5–34.
7 There are very few cases of comparative historical studies that cover the four East Asian societies. A good attempt is offered by the contributions to Arnaud Brotons, Yannick Bruneton, and Nathalie Kouamé, eds., État, religion et répression en Asie: Chine, Corée, Japon, Vietnam (XIIIe–XXIe siècles) [State, religion and repression in Asia: China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam (13th–21st centuries)] (Paris: Karthala, 2011).

10 For a good example of efforts to put the study of religion in China in a broader comparative context, see Fenggang, Yang, “The Red, Black and Gray Markets of Religion in China,” Sociological Quarterly 47, no. 1 (2006): 93–122Google Scholar. His theory has been criticized as too Christian-centric by scholars of Chinese religions in sociology, anthropology, and history. For a convincing account of Chinese religions that considers Chinese and non-Chinese scholarship and puts that in a broader context, see Vincent Goossaert and David Palmer, The Religious Question in Modern China (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2011).
