This book conducts a comparative study between Confucian political philosophy and contemporary political philosophy in the analytic tradition. The author demonstrates the relevance of Confucianism to contemporary discussions on important political ideals, such as equality, democracy, human rights and global justice. He also introduces individual Confucian thinkers, including both historical figures like Kongzi, Mengzi, and Xunzi, and contemporary thinkers such as Kang Youwei and Mou Zongsan. By arguing whether certain Confucian ideals can broaden current debates in political philosophy, the book moves the discussion further. The book will appeal to graduate students and scholars studying ethics, political philosophy, and Chinese philosophy.
