Review Quotes:
"It is clear that the essays collected in this volume take Confucian ethics seriously as they articulate poignant and sustained reflections on current political issues in contemporary China, the tension between public and private, trust in government, the nature of the virtues, and so on ... the book clearly takes steps toward developing Confucian ethics." - Philosophy East & West
"...an impressive collection of essays that demonstrate how Confucian ideas can shed light on contemporary discussions in theoretical and normative ethics, and political philosophy." - Dao
"Using [a] broadened contemporary intercultural framework, this book suggests an approach of learning from, rather than learning about, Confucianism. Instead of questioning how people once lived, it searches out how they should live. This method could recharge Confucianism's ongoing impact on the long conversation of philosophers East and West." - CHOICE
