Building Bridges Between Chan Buddhism And Confucianism - A Comparative Hermeneutics Of Qisong'S "Essays On Assisting The Teaching"

by Diana Arghirescu

43,21€ + 10% CARD

 In Building Bridges between Chan Buddhism and Confucianism, Diana Arghirescu explores the close connections between Buddhism and Confucianism during China's Song period (960-1279). Drawing on In Essays on Assisting the Teaching written by Chan monk-scholar Qisong (1007-1072), Arghirescu examines the influences between the two traditions. In his writings, Qisong made the first substantial efforts to compare the major dimensions of Confucian and Chan Buddhist thought from a philosophical view, seeking to establish a meaningful and influential intellectual and ethical bridge between them.Arghirescu meticulously reveals a "Confucianized" dimension of Qisong's thought, showing how he revisited and reinterpreted Confucian terminology in his special form of Chan aimed at his contemporary Confucian readers and auditors "who do not know Buddhism." Qisong's form of eleventh-century Chan, she argues, is unique in its cohesive or nondual perspective on Chinese Buddhist, Confucian, and other philosophical traditions, which considers all of them to be interdependent and to share a common root.Building Bridges between Chan Buddhism and Confucianism is the first book to identify, examine, and expand on a series of Confucian concepts and virtues that were specifically identified and discussed from a Buddhist perspective by a historical Buddhist writer. It represents a major contribution in the comparative understanding of both traditions.

Deliberative Agency - A Study In Modern African Political Philosophy

by Uchenna Okeja

28,80€ + 10% CARD

 Public deliberation, highly valued by many African societies, becomes the cornerstone of a new system of African political philosophy in this brilliant, highly original study. In Deliberative Agency, philosopher Uchenna Okeja offers a way to construct a new political center by building it around the ubiquitous African practice of public deliberation, a widely accepted means to resolve legal matters, reconcile feuding groups, and reestablish harmony.In cities, hometown associations and voluntary organizations carry out the task of fostering deliberation among African groups for different reasons. In some instances, the deliberation aims to settle disputes. In others, the aim is to decide the best action to take to address unfortunate incidents such as death. Through a measured, comparative analysis, Deliberative Agency argues that the best way to reimagine and harness the idea of public deliberation, based on current experiences in Africa, is to see it as performance of agency. Building a new political center around the practice places agency at the core of a new political life in Africa.

Philosophies Of Justice In Acholi - Responsibility In Times Of Collective Suffering

by Benedetta Lanfranchi

~~26,49€~~ 23,84€ 10% OFF

 Since 2008 Ugandans residing in the northern region of Acholiland have been faced with the uncertainties of justice stemming from the twenty-year civil war waged between the Ugandan government and Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Seeking accountability and reconciliation within their communities, Acholi and non-Acholi have had to grapple with large-scale practical and philosophical questions: Whose legal system should deliver justice for victims, and what are the aims and responsibilities of justice as a concept?Philosophies of Justice in Acholi focuses on Acholi traditional mechanisms of justice (ATJMs), which became the central framework for jurisprudence outlined in the peace agreements that were brokered from 2006 to 2008. Framing community members' responsibilities in terms of their ancestral beings has facilitated a justice process that understands the inseparable relations between individuals and groups and thus provides pathways to reclaim social, moral, and material lives. While ATJMs have thus far fallen short of addressing national and global polities' responsibilities in the conflict, their core premises hold promise for defining Uganda's still-developing political justice process and for humans everywhere seeking justice.Delving into understandings of fairness, responsibility, and group identity, Philosophies of Justice in Acholi reveals that justice, and its effect on collective existence, is always political.
