This dissertation critically examines the portrayal of Confucianism within Western scholarship, particularly through the lens of John King Fairbank and Joseph Levenson, who characterized it as an impediment to modernization. This study situates their interpretations within the frameworks of Orientalism and Modernization Theory to reveal the influence of the Orientalism of Max Weber, who first constructed a narrative that depicted Confucian values as static and incompatible with Western ideals of progress. In contrast, this research notes the contributions of Asian American scholars who reevaluate Confucianism as a dynamic and adaptable tradition able to enrich modern governance. This dissertation then traces the Asian American scholar's role in integrating Confucianism into the Singapore government. Ultimately, this work showcases the need for diversity in understanding the complexities of cultural and intellectual exchanges and argues that philosophies like Confucianism has a role in modernity.
