A New Look at the Debate Between Confucian Soft-Power and Legalist Hard-Power Statecrafts and Its Contemporary Significance
In recent years, comparative scholars and commentators have attempted to find ways to best characterize the opposition between Confucianism and Legalism. For example, it has been argued that Confucianism exemplifies “idealism”, whereas Legalism is a version of “realism” and that their dispute can be construed as a clash between the broader philosophical frameworks of idealism and realism. While casting these opposing political philosophies as suc…
Integrating Care and Respect
What it is commonly referred to as “early Confucian ethics” has its textual sources in two canonical Confucian texts―the Analects and the Mencius, and to a lesser extent, in the Xunzi. This article breaks fresh ground in the study of early Confucian ethics by defending a new interpretation that Confucian ethics is an inclusive ethics in the sense that all of its key notions contain the dual dimensions of care and respect. I call this “the inclusi…
Moral Virtue and Inclusive Happiness
What is the relationship between moral virtue and happiness? Does having moral virtues make their possessors happy? Can one be happy without them? Philosophers provide diverging answers to these questions due to their different understandings of the concept of happiness which has multifarious meanings and senses. In this essay, I compare the representative Western theories of happiness with what may be called “a classical Confucian view” informed…
Setting the Record Straight
Confucius's Virtue Politics
This essay calls attention to an aspect of Confucius's notion of ren that has often been overlooked or even denied in much recent discussion of the topic. While the egalitarian aspect of ren, i.e., the idea that every human being has the potential to become a ren person, is frequently asserted, the leadership dimension of ren has for the most part been given short shrift. I argue that for Confucius, ren is the leadership virtue. This conclusion i…
The Political Dimension of Confucius's Idea of Ren
This essay argues that there is a political dimension to Confucius's idea of ren. This thesis is based on a careful analysis of what may be called the definitional passages in the Analects. The author contends that contrary to what may be called the unqualified egalitarian claim, ren is not applicable to every human being because its political aspect requires some degree of constraint in its application
Is Yi More Basic Than Ren in the Teachings of Confucius?
Relation, Virtue, and Relational Virtue
Relation, Virtue, and Relational Virtue
This essay breaks new ground in defending the view that contemporary care-based ethics and early Confucian ethics share some important common ground. Luo also introduces the notion of relational virtue in an attempt to bridge a conceptual gap between relational caring ethics and agent-based virtue ethics, and to make the connections between the ethics of care and Confucian ethics philosophically clearer and more defensible
