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.Confucianism and stateDemocracyReligious aspectsConfucianismConfucianism and state.DemocracyReligious aspectsConfucianism.321.8/01Tan Sor-hoon1965-1804213MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953722003321Confucian democracy4364848UNINA
