Condizione: as new. Washington, DC:The Catholic University of America Press, 2005 Hardcover. Dustjacket. 406 pp. English text. Condition : as new.(Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy). - In this volume, distinguished philosopher Antonio S. Cua offers a collection of original studies on Xunzi, a leading classical…Confucian thinker, and on other aspects of Chinese philosophy. While each essay individually makes an important contribution to the study of Chinese philosophy, the book as a whole represents a major scholarly achievement. In the first part of the book, Cua focuses on Xunzi. Although the topic of human nature is a recurrent concern for Xunzi, recent studies have neglected to analyze the key notions and arguments that he offers. Cua shows that Xunzi deserves attention from moral philosophers, not only because of the clarity and depth of his thought, but also for the ways in which he focused on language and for his method of presenting theses dealing with the relation between morality and human nature; the significance of ritual for governance in a civilized community; the ethical uses of history; the possibility of ethical knowledge; and honor and shame. The second part of the book deals with key aspects of Chinese philosophy and the Confucian vision. Cua discusses the emergence of Chinese philosophy; the notion of practical causation presupposed in Confucian ethics; implications for the quality of human life in the context of environmental ethics; the problem of moral failure; and metaphysical grounding of Confucian ethics. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9780813213859. Keywords : PHILOSOPHY, Chinese philosophy.
