Human Rights in Chinese Thought gives an extended answer to this question in the first study of its kind. It integrates a full account of the development of Chinese rights discourse - reaching back to important, though neglected, origins of that discourse in 17th and 18th century Confucianism - with philosophical consideration of how various communities should respond to contemporary Chinese claims about the uniqueness of their human rights concepts. The book elaborates a plausible kind of moral pluralism and demonstrates that Chinese ideas of human rights do indeed have distinctive characteristics, but it nonetheless argues for the importance and promise of cross-cultural moral engagement. 410 0$aCambridge modern China series. 606 $aHuman rights$zChina 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a323/.0951 700 $aAngle$b Stephen C.$f1964-$0269069 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456013303321 996 $aHuman rights and Chinese thought$9938247 997 $aUNINA
