Galia Patt-Shamir discusses their responses to the Confucian challenge that the Way, as perfection, can be broadened by the person who travels it. Suggesting that the three neo-Confucian philosophers undertake the classical Confucian task of \"broadening the way,\" each proposes to deal with it from a different angle: Zhou Dunyi offers a metaphysical emerging out of the infinitude-finitude boundary, Shao Yong emerges out of the epistemological boundary between in and out, and Zhang Zai offers a pragmatic emerging out of the boundary between life and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the lens of these three Song-period China philosophers, the idea of \"transcending self-boundaries\" places neo-Confucian philosophies within the global philosophical context. Patt-Shamir questions the Confucian notions of person, Way, and how they relate to human flourishing to highlight how the emergence of personhood demands transcending metaphysical, epistemological, and moral self-boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410474291544,"sku":"9781438485614","price":90.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438485614_ddcc583d-1730-4e4a-ae77-6804fcdf4694.jpg?v=1777896948","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/persons-emerging","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
