Asian Values (eBook, ePUB)

Encounter with Diversity
Redaktion: Cauquelin, Josiane; Mayer-König, Birgit; Lim, Paul

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book opens with an examination of values themselves, grappling with western assertions of individual human rights and the eastern emphasis on duties, and analysing selected Asian philosophical and religious traditions. Several case studies follow, on countries the Philippines, Japan, China, Malaysia and Thailand. The purpose of the book is to help westerners in particular to understand and appreciate better the changes taking place in Asia, to handle relations more sensitively, and thereby to help bring Europe and Asia together.
