Book Organizational Power and Ethical Subjectivity

This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of articles discusses the basic epistemological issues facing the global theoretical humanities in terms of cross-cultural points of view. The topics discussed especially concern theoretical semiotics, institutional restrictions of current humanities scholarship, and comparative historical semiotics, as well as the more applicable and empirical-rational-directed humanist ethics. The text is characterized by its hermeneutic dialogue between contemporary western theories and traditional Chinese intellectual history, that will be instructive and informative for scholars and theoretical readers of all branches in both the western and non-western humanities. It emphasizes the great significance of the theoretical humanities in our times and their urgent task should lie in collectively reconstructing a more rationalized humanist-scientific foundation for a new type of human sciences through critically reorganizing all intellectual sources of mankind.

Book The Structure of the Chinese Ethical Archetype

Download or read book The Structure of the Chinese Ethical Archetype written by You-Zheng Li and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1997 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary of the ancient Greek philosophy, pre-Chín thought presents a non-religious and non-metaphysical perspective on ethics. In order to make Chinese ethics theoretically more accessible to the Western readers, the book offers a hermeneutico-semiotic interdisciplinar approach. The Analects of Confucius are being structurally analyzed in order to reveal the epistemological preconditions and pragmatic rationality implied in the unsystematically edited maxims of this important motivational ethics. The other related ethical thoughts discussed are Taoist nihilism, Legalist philosophy of power and the political turn of Mencian-Confucian ethics. All of these pre-Chín Chinese ethical thoughts form a complete picture of the original situation of human ethical relationship.

Book Legitimacy  the Chinese Communist Party and Confucius

Download or read book Legitimacy the Chinese Communist Party and Confucius written by Wai Kong Ng and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-23 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the use of Confucianism by the Chinese Communist Party in its assertion of political legitimacy. Confucian thought offers an enduring framework for political legitimacy in East Asian societies, including China. All states strive to acquire legitimacy, and despite once denouncing Confucianism as the remnants of feudal poison, the Party is turning towards Confucianism as part of its legitimation efforts. This suggests that the Party is suffering from an ideological void in terms of legitimacy and legitimation due to the diminishing relevance of Marxism in Chinese societal practices. The book will devise a non-liberal legitimacy framework, drawing on the ideas of Habermas and Bernard Williams, to examine the legitimacy of the Party, and use an analysis of the elite discourse to determine the nature of the Confucian turn, in a sharp polemic that will interest scholars of Chinese politics, of the role of traditional beliefs in Asian modernity, and in China's future.

Book High Tech Pan Materialism and Humanist Ethics

Download or read book High Tech Pan Materialism and Humanist Ethics written by Youzheng Li and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the human-scientific mode of spiritual resources may be reorganized to balance the extremely materialist civilization of today. It discusses the dominance of the high-tech commercialization of the Earth and the serious weakening of rational-spiritual stamina, as well as institutional rigidity in the humanities. The book also considers traditional Chinese intellectual history inspired by the classical Chinese humanist-ethical spirit as revealing the cross-historical universality of humanist-lined ethics rooted in human nature. Although the natural sciences and social sciences have led to the unprecedented progress of material human civilization, the fundamental factor that determines the rational orientation of spiritual civilization should be the modern human sciences that are reorganized in terms of semiotic strategy and humanistic ethics, leading hopefully to a new era of enlightenment for mankind. The book asserts that humanistic ethics, as the central spirit of the humanities, includes both epistemology and action dynamics. The pertinent activation of both depends definitively on the subject’s free willpower.

The book will appeal to a wide audience interested in Chinese political philosophy, as well as to historians, social and political scientists.

Book The Constitution of Ancient China

Download or read book The Constitution of Ancient China written by Su Li and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How was the vast ancient Chinese empire brought together and effectively ruled? What are the historical origins of the resilience of contemporary China's political system? In The Constitution of Ancient China, Su Li, China's most influential legal theorist, examines the ways in which a series of fundamental institutions, rather than a supreme legal code upholding the laws of the land, evolved and coalesced into an effective constitution. Arguing that a constitution is an institutional response to a set of issues particular to a specific society, Su Li demonstrates how China unified a vast territory, diverse cultures, and elites from different backgrounds into a whole. He delves into such areas as uniform weights and measurements, the standardization of Chinese characters, and the building of the Great Wall. The book includes commentaries by four leading Chinese scholars in law, philosophy, and intellectual history—Wang Hui, Liu Han, Wu Fei, and Zhao Xiaoli—who share Su Li's ambition to explain the resilience of ancient China's political system but who contend that he overstates functionalist dimensions while downplaying the symbolic. Exploring why China has endured as one political entity for over two thousand years, The Constitution of Ancient China will be essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the institutional legacy of the Chinese empire.

Book Making We the People

    Book Details:
  • Author : Chaihark Hahm
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2015-12-10
  • ISBN : 1316425169
  • Pages : 329 pages

Download or read book Making We the People written by Chaihark Hahm and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to say that it is 'We the People' who 'ordain and establish' a constitution? Who are those sovereign people, and how can they do so? Interweaving history and theory, constitutional scholar Chaihark Hahm and political theorist Sung Ho Kim attempt to answer these perennial questions by revisiting the constitutional politics of postwar Japan and Korea. Together, these experiences demonstrate the infeasibility of the conventional assumption that there is a clearly bounded sovereign 'people' prior to constitution-making that stands apart from both outside influence and troubled historical legacies. The authors argue that 'We the People' only emerges through a deeply transformative politics of constitutional founding and, as such, a democratic constitution and its putative author are mutually constitutive. Highly original and genuinely multidisciplinary, this book will be of interest to democratic theorists and scholars of comparative constitutionalism as well as observers of ongoing constitutional debates in Japan and Korea.
