Towards Confucian Republicanism
Democracy as Virtue Politics
Gebonden Engels 2025 9780197695845Samenvatting
In Towards Confucian Republicanism, Elton Chan develops a theoretical framework of Confucianism for the twenty-first century. He argues that liberal Confucians must take seriously the internal authoritarian leanings of Confucianism--and then resist them. He shows that Confucians are keen on concentrating power in the hands of the virtuous not merely for promoting order and material livelihood, but also for general moral cultivation. Yet this political and moral hierarchy is self-defeating. To counter the authoritarian turn in Confucian scholarship, Chan articulates a hybrid political order that brings together Confucianism and republican democracy, making the case that Confucianism stands a much higher chance of achieving good governance and collective virtuous cultivation when merged with republicanism.
