  • Chenyang Li on the Confucian Philosophy of Harmony

    Open AccessRuiping FanARTICLEAsian Studies2026

    This paper argues that while Chenyang Li’s Confucian philosophy of harmony offers valuable insights that contribute to contemporary philosophical literature, three specific issues warrant careful examination. First, it remains unclear whether “disharmony” car­ries the same ontological significance as “harmony” within his framework, and whether it possesses an inherent value akin to that of harmony. Secondly, it is essential to investi­gate whethe…

  • Promoting deceased organ donation

    Open AccessMd Sanwar Siraj, Ruiping FanARTICLEMetamedicine2026

    This essay presents arguments for adopting a familist incentive approach for promoting deceased organ donation in Islamic regions. It argues that the familist incentive (a system in which the immediate relatives of a deceased donor are given priority in organ allocation within the waitlist of medically similar patients) should be adopted in Islamic regions, where the prevailing Islamic moral culture shapes the way of life for the majority of inha…

    Open AccessRui Deng, Ruiping FanARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2026

    Current policies in mainland China strictly distinguish between social egg or embryo freezing and medical egg or embryo freezing.

  • To relieve or to terminate? A Confucian ethical reflection on the use of morphine for late‐stage cancer patients in China

    Open AccessSihan Sun, Ruiping FanARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2020

    Morphine is usually preferred to treat moderate or severe pain for late‐stage cancer patients. However, medically unindicated or excessive morphine use may result in respiratory depression and death. This essay contends that a clear distinction between relieving pain and performing active euthanasia in the use of morphine should be made in practice. By drawing on Confucian virtue resources, we construct a Confucian conception of human dignity, in…

  • Confucian Meritocracy for Contemporary China

    Open AccessRuiping FanCHAPTEREast Asian Challenge for Democracy2013

    Confucian moral and political thought concentrates on the cultivation of virtue (xiushen) by individuals and the rule of virtue (dezhi) in government. It emphasizes that every individual learn the virtues (such as xiao, ren, yi, zhi, xin, zhong, and he) by observing rituals (li) (i.e., a series of familial and social norms, ceremonies and patterns) affirmed by the tradition. In this tradition, only virtuous individuals deserve to be selected as r…

  • The East Asian Challenge for Democracy

    Open AccessJoseph Chan, Tongdong Bai et al.BOOKEast Asian Challenge for Democracy2013

    The rise of China, along with problems of governance in democratic countries, has reinvigorated the theory of political meritocracy. But what is the theory of political meritocracy and how can it set standards for evaluating political progress (and regress)? To help answer these questions, this volume gathers a series of commissioned research papers from an interdisciplinary group of leading philosophers, historians and social scientists. The res…

  • A Confucian Constitutional Order

    Open AccessQing Jiang, Jiang Qing et al.BOOKA Confucian constitutional order2012

    As China continues to transform itself, many assume that the nation will eventually move beyond communism and adopt a Western-style democracy. But could China develop a unique form of government based on its own distinct traditions? This book says yes. It sets out a vision for a Confucian constitutional order that offers a compelling alternative to both the status quo in China and to a Western-style liberal democracy. It is the most detailed and …
