Breaking out of the dominance of Anglo-American scholarship, this volume centralises East Asian philosophical traditions to explore cross-cultural perspectives in the field of global justice studies. By bringing together diverse traditions of thinking about justice that contrasts East Asian and Western thinkers' traditions, it avoids the shortcomings of narrow and one-sided conceptualisations of global justice.
A range of contributors from East Asia, Europe, and the US who are conversant with both Western and East Asian philosophical traditions provide a rich engagement with contemporary issues relating to global justice. The book opens with a section devoted to the methodological challenges specific to cross-cultural approaches to justice, including the universalism/particularism debate and the conditions of the possibility of cross-cultural comparisons. Part II explores how major East Asian philosophical traditions-including Confucianism, Legalism, Daoism and Buddhism-consider issues related to global justice. The essays in Part III adopt a cross-cultural and/or comparative perspective on justice, enabling the readers to appreciate similarities and differences between the East Asian and Western perspectives on justice, and to appreciate cultural variation. Key applied issues in global justice, such as epistemic injustice, human rights, women's rights, nationalism, religious pluralism, coercion, corruption and post-colonial justice, receive full consideration in the final section of this indispensable reference work for understandings of global justice in East Asia specifically and cross-culturally.
Recenzijas
This is a remarkable collection, offering unparalleled insights into global justice through the lens of East Asian philosophical traditions. This comprehensive volume bridges Western and Eastern perspectives, illuminating the rich tapestry of philosophical thought. A must-read for anyone interested in global justice, cultural understanding, and the profound wisdom of East Asian philosophies. * Yujin Nagasawa, Professor of Philosophy and Kingfisher College Chair in the Philosophy of Religion and Ethics, University of Oklahoma, USA * A viable account of justice must be crafted on firm empirical foundations and employing a new, broad form of reflective equilibrium, one that reaches not only across disciplinary but also cultural boundaries [ ] to develop new accounts of justice that are sensitive and responsive to the irreducibly diverse and wonderfully variegated world of human values. The essays in this volume make an impressive, valiant, and historically unprecedented effort toward this end * From the Foreword by Philip J. Ivanhoe, Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Georgetown University, USA *
