Focusing on the legacy of Mou Zongsan, the book significantly recasts the moral character and political ideal of Confucianism, accompanied by a Hegelian retreatment of the multiple facets of Western modernity and its core values, such as individuality, self-realization, democracy, civilized society, citizenship, public good, freedom, and human rights. The book offers a culturally sensitive way of reevaluating liberal language and forges a reconciliation between the two extremes of anti-Confucian liberalism and anti-liberal Confucianism. The result-Confucian liberalism-is akin to civil liberalism, in that it rests the form of liberal democracy on the content of \"Confucian democratic civility.\" It is also comparable to perfectionist liberalism, endorsing a nondominant concept of the common good surrounded by a set of \"Confucian governing and civic virtues.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410270867800,"sku":"9781438491127","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438491127_39efd59c-408d-4dc2-8bbb-214ac1cc1af7.jpg?v=1777895153","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/confucian-liberalism-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
