Dao Companion to the Philosophy of Mencius

Beschreibung

This book is about the philosophical, historical, and interpretative aspects of Mencius. It explores his influence, reception, and relevance in China from the third century BCE to the present, as well as offers comparative studies of Mencius and major figures in the history of Chinese and Western philosophy. With 34 accessible articles written by leading philosophers and scholars, the Dao Companion to the Philosophy of Mencius provides both broad pictures and in-depth discussions regarding the work of one of the most important and influential Chinese philosophers. It covers his normative ethics, meta-ethics, political philosophy, epistemology and moral psychology. The last section of the volume, "Mencius and Western Philosophers: Comparative Perspectives," explicitly puts him in dialogue with major Western philosophers. The Dao Companion to the Philosophy of Mencius serves as an essential volume for college students, graduate students, and scholars who study and teach Mencius as well as Chinese philosophy and comparative philosophy in general.

Rezensionen

"The volume is of unusual length as if to match the philosopher's extraordinary status as Confucianism's foremost representative and pays particular attention to the reception of his thought. ... While the volume's contributions are uneven, they are all informative and important to the discussion of China's philosophical traditions." (Barbara Hendrischke, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 50 (2), June, 2024)
