{"product_id":"a-confucian-theory-of-power-sungmoon-kim-9781526182661","title":"A Confucian Theory of Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the book's lead essay, Sungmoon Kim offers a comprehensive analysis of Confucian power. Through a blend of philosophical, political, and historical analysis, Kim challenges the dominant idea that Confucianism is primarily centred on virtue ethics. Instead, he argues that Confucianism perceives power through the prism of responsibility. Kim not only traces this perspective throughout history but also demonstrates its relevance to contemporary society. He contrasts this Confucian perspective with Western political theory's view of power as control.\u003cbr\u003ePolitical theorists and philosophers will offer essay responses to Sungmoon Kim's provocation, offering a dialogue approach to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Confucian conception of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sungmoon Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526182661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526182661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs","brand":"Sungmoon Kim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48520138359039,"sku":"9781526182661","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2640c039-83b2-41e8-bc70-7c32cad260a1.jpg?v=1778740977","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-confucian-theory-of-power-sungmoon-kim-9781526182661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
