Helle compares the cultures of China and the West through both private and public spheres. For China, the private sphere of family life is well developed while behaviour in public relating to matters of government and the law is less reliable. In contrast, the West operates in reverse. The book's twelve chapters investigate the causes and effects of threats to the environment, military confrontations, religious differences, fundamentals of cultural history, and the countries' orientations for finding solutions to societal problems, all informed by the Confucian impulse to recapture the lost splendour of a past versus faith in progress toward a blessed future. The West has promoted individualism while China is locked in its kinship society.Studies in critical social sciences ;volume 96.ChinaSocial conditionsChinaCultural policyHistoryChinaSocial life and customsChinaReligionChinaForeign relationsElectronic books.306.0951Helle Horst Jürgen1435979910169176203321China2220239UNINA02795nam 2200601 450 991079129980332120221202165414.00-7391-9417-8(CKB)2550000001345953(EBL)1771143(OCoLC)889674919(SSID)ssj0001334399(PQKBManifestationID)12518123(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001334399(PQKBWorkID)11405959(PQKB)11071902(Au-PeEL)EBL1771143(CaPaEBR)ebr10915461(CaONFJC)MIL638834(OCoLC)896599423(MiAaPQ)EBC1771143(EXLCZ)99255000000134595320140910h20142014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCivil-military relations in Israel essays in honor of Stuart A.
