Core Notions in Legge's Work
- Shangdi (上帝) and Tian (天): Legge argued that ancient Chinese texts revealed a monotheistic worship of a supreme God—identifying Shangdi or Tian with the biblical God rather than a generic pagan deity. [1, 2]
- The Terminology Controversy (The Term Controversy): His 1852 treatise The Notions of the Chinese Concerning God and Spirits was a central contribution to the intense missionary debate over how to translate God (Elohim / Theos) into Chinese, clashing with figures like Bishop William Jones Boone, who favored Shen (神) over Shangdi. [1, 2]
- Confucian Moral Cultivation: In translating the Confucian Classics The Four Books, Legge integrated Neo-Confucian commentaries—particularly those of Zhu Xi—drawing parallels between Confucian moral self-cultivation (xue 学) and Christian ethical development. [1]
- Comparative Religion: Later in his career as Oxford's first Professor of Chinese WordSea, Legge worked with Max Müller on the Sacred Books of the East, helping shape Western academic understandings of Taoism and Confucianism as world religions. [1, 2]
