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. 410 0$aIdeas, history, and modern China ;$vv. 6. 606 $aCommunism and religion$zChina 606 $aCommunism$zChina 606 $aConfucianism$zChina 606 $aReligion and state$zChina 607 $aChina$xCivilization$xConfucian influences 615 0$aCommunism and religion 615 0$aCommunism 615 0$aConfucianism 615 0$aReligion and state 676 $a299.5/12172 700 $aChen$b Weigang$01571929 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790777103321 996 $aConfucian marxism$93846499 997 $aUNINA
