Some leaders, in both the East and the West, believe that human rights are culture-bound and that liberal democracy is essentially Western, inapplicable to the non-Western world. How can civilized life be preserved and issues of human rights and civil society be addressed if the material forces dominating world affairs are allowed to run blindly, uncontrolled by any cross-cultural consensus on how human values can be given effective expression and direction? In a thoughtful meditation ranging widely over several civilizations and historical eras, Wm. Theodore de Bary argues that the concepts of leadership and public morality in the major Asian traditions offer a valuable perspective on humanizing the globalization process. Turning to the classic ideals of the Buddhist, Hindu, Confucian, and Japanese traditions, he investigates the nature of true leadership and its relation to learning, virtue, and education in human governance; the role in society of the public intellectual; and the responsibilities of those in power in creating and maintaining civil society. De Bary recognizes that throughout history ideals have always come up against messy human complications. Still, he finds in the exploration and affirmation of common values a worthy attempt to grapple with persistent human dilemmas across the globe. 517 3 $aNobility and civility 606 $aLeadership$zAsia$xHistory 606 $aCivil society$zAsia$xHistory 606 $aLeadership$xReligious aspects$xConfucianism 606 $aLeadership$xReligious aspects$xHinduism 606 $aLeadership$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism 615 0$aLeadership$xHistory. 615 0$aCivil society$xHistory. 615 0$aLeadership$xReligious aspects$xConfucianism. 615 0$aLeadership$xReligious aspects$xHinduism. 615 0$aLeadership$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism. 676 $a303.3/4/095 700 $aDe Bary$b William Theodore$f1919-$0127993 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954043103321 996 $aNobility & civility$94358114 997 $aUNINA
