Confucius, Rawls, and the Sense of Justice

." . . A truly outstanding work. The author undertakes a highly original and tremendously exciting comparative analysis of Confucius and John Rawls on the issue of justice. The book is beautifully and carefully argued."-Michael Puett, Harvard University"Cline has penned a work which combines cutting edge comparative philosophy with substantial empirical research. Her understanding of Confucianism and its relevance in the contemporary world not only enlightens those interested in Chinese political traditions but also provides a substantial resource for moving from political theory to the formulation and implementation of social policy. As such, this book should appeal to a broad audience, including those interested in political theory, ethics, and public policy, as well as those interested in East Asia and comparative philosophy."-Eirik Harris, Underwood International College .".. Erin Cline's comparative study is nuanced, philosophically informed, sinologically sound, and illuminating."-Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
