Description
Summary:"In a time marked by profound polarization, this volume draws attention to virtue that is of key importance in many non-Western cultures but is largely neglected in modern Western thought: the virtue of harmony. The volume comprises a collection of thirteen essays that expound harmony against different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds. Each contribution focuses on some aspect of what harmony—as a personal trait, social disposition, or environmental outlook—entails and describes how the virtue may be cultivated; either by examining the way in which it has been discussed in specific traditions in ethical, religious, or political thought, or by developing a cross-cultural analysis of the theory and practice of the virtue of harmony"--Publisher's description.
