Confucian Ethics and Chinese Society: Chinese Confucian Institutions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book reveals the important value of Confucianism in modern China. It represents a shift in focus in Confucian studies from centering on self-cultivation to encompassing the entire social life. It tries to explicate Confucian concepts from a localized perspective, making it clear that Confucian ethics scaffold the foundation of Chinese society. Examining the relationship between Confucian ethics and Chinese society is crucial for understanding China.The book cites a great deal of classics across four independently themed chapters, making it a valuable reference for researchers, students, or anyone interested in philosophy and Confucianism.While Confucian Ethics and Chinese Society: Chinese Confucian Principles, written by the same author, focuses on the principles of Confucianism, this book focuses on how these principles are omnipresent in the way Chinese institutions are organized.
