Sor-hoon Tan synthesizes the two philosophies through a comparative examination of individuals and community, democratic ideals of equality and freedom, and the nature of ethical and political order. By constructing a model of Confucian democracy that combines the strengths of both Confucianism and Deweyan pragmatism, this book explores how a premodern tradition could be put in dialogue with contemporary political and philosophical theories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sor-Hoon Tan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791458903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791458907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.20w x 0.65d","brand":"Sor-Hoon Tan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685610705151,"sku":"9780791458907","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b14622e7-281d-4a78-b68b-cc4846f55d10.jpg?v=1741726239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confucian-democracy-sor-hoon-tan-9780791458907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
