Confucian Relationism and Global Ethics
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-54564-9 (ISBN)
Environmental disasters, unequal distribution of resources, viral pandemics, and other types of trans-national disasters, are global crises that cannot be solved within the narrow framework of individual nation-states. They must be addressed through global cooperation and solidarity. Such strategies require intercultural dialog that goes beyond fashionable slogans and can lead to a truly equal exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Towards this endeavour, this book by Jana S. Rošker focuses on the traditional Confucian ethic of relationism, which historically spread throughout many regions of East Asia. She examines the specific features of relational ethics and explores its possible contribution to the new global ethics.
Jana S. Rošker earned her PhD at Vienna University. She is a professor of sinology at the University of Ljubljana and has published 26 books on various aspects of Chinese philosophy, including Interpreting Chinese Philosophy - A New Methodology (Bloomsbury Academic, 2021).
