Recensione

'... displays the author's mastery of the Chinese corpus and methodological care ...'. Political Studies Review

'... groundbreaking ... Angle's book is a particularly significant contribution in that he is really one of the first to take contemporary Chinese thinkers seriously ... Anyone who thought that nothing new can e said about the 'human rights versus Asian values' debate should be convinced by Angle's book that the opposite is true.' The Philosophical Quarterly

Descrizione del libro

This book is about the development of Chinese ideas of human rights, and about what we in the contemporary world should make of different cultures having different moral ideas. It elaborates a plausible kind of moral pluralism and demonstrates that Chinese ideas of human rights do indeed have distinctive characteristics.
