Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An ambitious book, dealing with human nature, according to classical Confucian philosophers, analogies between rights and rites, and Confucian influences in 20th-century China." -- Stefan B. Polter, Asian Affairs "This rich volume, a feast for the mind, a joy to the soul, is so wise in seeing that the human rights discourse is not the singular fruit of a peculiar liberal individualistic Western tradition, not the unique genetic child of Jews or Christians or Greeks." -- Edward Friedman, Asian Thought and Society "It reduces the lack of clarity that has characterized discussions of this subject to date." -- Lynn Struve, China Quarterly "The essays explore such vital subjects as the normative foundation of human rights claims, the relationship of the individual to the nation-state, rites as rights, due process, harmony versus freedom of thought, constitutionalism, and the rule of law... each one does stand on its own as a solid piece of scholarship." -- Choice "This engaging book is propaedeutic to a study of how Confucianism might contribute to decisions respecting rights." -- Dale Maurice Riepe, International Studies in Philosophy

Reseña del editor:

In essays exploring the relationship of contemporary human rights doctrine to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, this volume explores concepts of the individual in relation to community, state, and society. The essays also consider: the notion of "rights" in Confucian ritual and in Chinese law; social justice and religious and intellectual fredom in Chinese and Western traditions; and constitutionalism and the rule of law in China and the West.
