Description
Early Chinese ethics has attracted increasing scholarly and social attention in recent years, as the virtue ethics movement in Western philosophy sparked renewed interest in Confucianism and Daoism. This imbalance has led to publications focusing primarily on Confucianism, while neglecting Daoism, Mohism, and shared features of Chinese moral psychology.
This book aims to rectify this imbalance with provocative interpretations of classical ethical theories, including widely neglected views of the Mohists and newly reconstructed accounts of the "embodied virtue" tradition. The volume also addresses the broader question of the value of comparative philosophy generally and of studying early Chinese ethics in particular.
