Confucian Ethics and Chinese Society: Chinese Confucian Principles

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It tries to explicate Confucian concepts from a localized perspective, making it clear that Confucian ethics scaffold the foundation of Chinese society. Understanding the relationship between Confucian ethics and Chinese society is crucial for comprehending 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 Institutions, written by the same author, focuses on the way Confucian principles are omnipresent in the organization of China's institutions, this book focuses on the principles itself.
