"The study of Confucianism in Indonesia required a deep analysis in order to get general patterns of its development. It is suppressing issue after the anti-Confucianism campaign by New Order, which in its implementation is a ban the Confucianism as a religion and degrade it simply as a spiritual and ethical [movements]. The New Order refusal to treat Confucianism as a religion in fact is the third development of this religion, which was at the same time with large-scale [Confucianists] conversion into Christianity. This book is a step toward that development and in my opinion is a valueable step to expose it in the religious life in Indonesia." (Abdurrahman Wahid)

As the genuine 'generalist', he constantly assumes a problem solution in dialogical and cooperative discourse among many parties.
