Lunli And Confucian Moral Theory

by Hao Fan

~~52,99€~~ 47,69€ 10% OFF

 This book interprets the concepts, philosophies and cultural traditions of lunli (roughly construed as "relationships and rationality") from the perspective and domain of ‘dialogue civilization.’ On the conceptual level, it expounds the common reference and different tenets of the Chinese lunli and the Western "ethic", exploring the characteristics of lunli and "ethic" in civilization history, considering notably the difference between unification of family and state and division of the two at the embryonic stage of civilization. The book draws on the lunli-oriented culture and religion-based culture to demonstrate the difference between Chinese lunli and Western "ethic" in their respective top design and ultimate care, by exploring the issue "What the world would be like, if there were no lunli" for the Chinese and "What the world would be like, if there were no God" for westerners. Since lunli is the most prominent feature of "being Chinese", or the most symbolic and interpretative Chinese cultural concept, this pivot provides a key introduction for Western readers not only to the concept itself, but also to modern day Chinese culture.

Cultural History Of The Chinese Concepts Fengjian (Feudalism) And Jingji (Economy)

by Tianyu Feng

131,84€ + 10% CARD

 This book interprets the typical Chinese concepts of fengjian (feudalism) and jingji (economy) by reviewing the mistranslation and mismatching of concepts from ancient to modern times and from a Western language to Chinese and exploring Chinese and Western acculturation, which is in line with Mr. Chen Yinque’s theory—"To interpret a Chinese character is to write a history of culture". In the coordinates of time and space for the transformation of Chinese concepts from ancient to modern times and their translation from Western languages, this book explores the generation and evolution of Chinese concepts; using the semantic window of Chinese characters, the book reviews the historical and cultural connotations of the semantic changes and the history of the long-lasting culture of Chinese characters. This volume moves from reviewing the semantic changes of fengjian and jingji to elaborating concepts of thought; it makes the study of the history of terms and concepts the study of the history of culture and thought; it analyzes words as part of cultural history to welcome the era of cultural and historical research with a focus on words.This book is both scholarly and readable, satisfying both the academic needs of specialized researchers and the cultural curiosity of those with secondary education or above.

Redefining A Philosophy For World Governance

by Tingyang Zhao

72,86€ + 10% CARD

 This Key Concepts pivot discusses the contemporary relevance of the ancient Chinese concept of Tianxia or ‘All-Under-Heaven’ and argues the case for a new global political philosophy. ‘All-under-heaven’ is a conceptualization of the world as the composition of three realms: the physical, psychological and political, which places inclusivity and harmony at the heart of a global world view above other considerations, transcending the notion of nation state. In a highly interconnected and globalized world, the idea of Tianxia can offer a new 21st century vision of international relations and world order, based on a harmonized global organization defined by the "all-inclusiveness principle." Promoting the ontology of co-existence and relational rationality hand in hand with rational risk aversion in a globalized world, this pivot makes the case that Tianxia could offer a new vision for contemporary world order, redefining the universality and legitimacy ofpolitics.
