In particular, it highlights the current relevance of the central conviction of Weber’s Orient: the absence of civic roots in non-Western societies will create a kind of “uncivic” capitalist system in which one has no choice but to seek to compensate for instabilities through authoritarian institutions. Does this mean that the West may alone afford to harmonize political stability with the universalistic ideal of justice as the basic structure of society? If not, how then is it possible to develop a notion of the primacy of social justice that transcends the limits of liberal democracy? This book aims at addressing these timely questions by drawing on “Confucian Marxism”—a distinctive perspective on civil society.Ideas, history, and modern China ;v. 6.Communism and religionChinaCommunismChinaConfucianismChinaReligion and stateChinaChinaCivilizationConfucian influencesElectronic books.Communism and religionCommunismConfucianismReligion and state299.5/12172Chen Weigang957650MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453469903321Confucian marxism2169104UNINA
