Confucianism and Human Rights
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Columbia Univ Pr
- Publish date: 12/01/1997
In lucid essays exploring the relationship of contemporary human rights doctrine to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, Confucianism and Human Rights explores concepts of the individual in relation to community, state, and society; the notion of "rights" in Confucian ritual and in Chinese law; social justice and religious and intellectual freedom in Chinese and Western traditions; and constitutionalism and the rule of law in China and the West.
For students of Chinese history and any reader interested in understanding the clash of Western notions of human rights with the ideologies of some non-Western regimes, this volume provides a clear, thought-provoking entry to this complex subject.
