Confucian Political Ethics by Daniel A Bell
For much of the twentieth century, Confucianism was condemned by Westerners and East Asians alike as antithetical to modernity. This book shows how classical Confucian theory - with its emphasis on family ties, self-improvement, education, and the social good - is highly relevant to the pressing dilemmas.
"The recent resurgence of interest in Confucius and Confucianism has been reflected in an outpouring of books on all aspects of this important traditionWith this excellent volume, Bell ... offers an indispensable collection of essays that address the contemporary relevance of classical Confucian ideas. Organized into chapters focusing on civil society, justice, pluralism, feminism, and war, Bell's latest offering combines previously published pieces with new articles from a range of significant authors... These and other thought-provoking essays make this an indispensable addition to any serious collection of contemporary political thought."--R. Parrish, West Texas A&M University, for CHOICE "Even for the non-specialist, Confucian Political Ethics is a lively and easily ingested read."--John A. Coleman, Politics and Religion "This excellent volume is relevant to a wide range of readers in such diverse fields as history, law, politics, sociology, feminist theory, comparative religion, and comparative philosophy. It will surely stimulate thoughtful reflection and debate for many years to come."--Sarah A. Queen, Journal of Law and Religion
