Description

This volume presents the results of an extended dialogue between American and Chinese philosophers exploring the relationship between virtue ethics and the Confucian tradition. Recent advances in English-language scholarship have made cross-tradition exchange, challenge, and learning possible.

Twenty essays collected here offer insights into the role of virtue in contemporary moral philosophy, Chinese thought, and potential future developments in cross-tradition philosophizing. This collection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in these topics.

Published in 2013, this book provides a unique perspective on the intersection of virtue ethics and Confucianism, making it a useful addition to any academic or philosophical library.
