Description
This thought-provoking work presents Confucianism as a living ethical tradition with contemporary relevance. By exploring its strengths and weaknesses, the contributors reflect on what this tradition offers that can inform our understanding of ethics.
The volume discusses key aspects of Confucian ethics, including the nature of virtue, the distinction between public and private spheres, the value of spontaneity, and the role of sympathy in moral judgment. It also examines how to handle competing values and the relationship between trust and democracy.
