A River Without Banks is a Swamp

What is ritual really for? In this episode, four passages reveal why Confucius cared less about jade, silk, bells, and drums — and more about the bonds that wholehearted participation creates.
We trace the meaning of 禮 (ritual) and 約 (keeping in bounds) through the Analects, take a detour into the 17th-century Chinese Rites Controversy — when Jesuits and the Pope clashed over whether Confucianism was a religion — and put Confucius and Pope Clement XI side by side on what it means to participate in a ritual.
Along the way: why drum machines didn't kill dancing, what a bar mitzvah can teach us about bonds, and how a river without banks becomes a swamp.
