Covering the five major intellectual traditions in the \"golden age\" of Chinese civilization: Confucian, Daoist, Mohist, Legalist, and Military Strategy schools, the book’s chapters immerse readers in the proper historical contexts, examine the moral concerns in the classical texts on their own terms, reframe those concerns in contemporary ethical idioms, and forge a critical dialogue between the past and the present. The volume develops fresh moral interpretations of classical texts such as \u003ci\u003eThe Art of War\u003c\/i\u003e, Mencius, Xunzi, Mozi, and the \u003ci\u003eDaodejing\u003c\/i\u003e and discusses famous philosophers such as Han Fei and Wang Yang-ming, representing antithetical schools of thought about warfare. Attention is also given to the military ethics of the People’s Liberation Army, examining its thinking against the backdrop of its own civilizational context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of just war theory, Chinese politics, ethics, and philosophy, military studies, and International Relations in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262774432088,"sku":"9781138824355","price":204.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138824355_7d5b6233-5f3f-4617-847e-11673efdd3e2.jpg?v=1769050844","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/chinese-just-war-ethics-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
