| Summary: | While the challenges facing the East and West can seem particular and mutually exacerbating, this enriching study creates a new platform for philosophical dialogue between the two. As Confucian thought wrestles with the push for modernization, and liberal democracy finds new cracks in its political consensus that undermine the communitarian ethos of solidarity, the opportunity for mutual understanding that this vital book offers has never been more pressing. Andrew Hung draws a comparison between the communitarianism of Charles Taylor and the Confucian teachings that still guide modern day China, finding potential for mutual inspiration through similar understandings of the self. |
