Confucianism and the Philosophy of Well-Being (Routledge Focus on Philosophy)

Richard Kim

4.9/5 (29688 ratings)

Description:Well-being is a philosophical topic that goes beyond the boundaries of disciplines, culture, and time. But like morality, conceptions of well-being are deeply shaped and influenced by one's particular social and cultural context. We ought to pursue, therefore, a cross-cultural understanding of well-being and moral psychology by taking seriously reflections from a variety of moral traditions.This book develops a Confucian account of well-being, considering contemporary accounts of ethics and virtue in light of early Confucian thought and philosophy. Its distinctive approach lies in the integration of Confucian moral philosophy, contemporary empirical psychology, and contemporary philosophical accounts of well-being.Richard Kim organises the book around four main areas: the conception of virtue in early Confucianism and the way that they advance both individual and communal well-being; the role of Confucian ritual practices in familial and communal ties; the developmental structure of human life and its culmination in the achievement of sagehood; and the sense of joy that the early Confucians believed were central to the virtuous and happy life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
