Paperback. Condition: New. Global Justice and Our Epochal Mind explores the mind of our epoch, defined as the period since the Nuremberg Trial and the establishment of the United Nations in 1945. Xunwu Chen examines four defining ideas of this epoch-global justice, cosmopolitanism, crimes against humanity, and cultural toleration-as well as the structural relationships among these ideas. Chen argues that the mind of our epoch is essentially the mind of humanity. Its world view, horizon, standpoint, norms, standards, and vocabularies are of humanity, by humanity, and for humanity, and all are embodied in human institutions and practices throughout the globe. Meanwhile, our epochal mind has a dialectical relationship with particular cultures bearing normative force. As a metaphysical subjectivity and substance, humanity is the source of all human values in our epoch and defines what can and should be human values and virtues. Humankind, therefore, are a people with socio-political and legal sovereignty, sharing a common fate. This novel study brings a cross-cultural approach and will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy, political science, sociology, and the humanities more broadly.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Justice, Humanity and Social Toleration develops the concept of normative justice as setting human affairs right in accordance with the principles of human rights, human goods, and human bonds. Defending the ideas of global justice and modernity, Professor Xunwu Chen explores social toleration and democracy as embodiments of normative justice in our time. The approach of this text is groundbreaking. By giving equal emphasis to normative justice as distributive justice and corrective justice, Chen shifts the paradigm for a new view on global justice. The discourse on global justice is furthered by the context of Eastern-Western dialogues. This thoughtful and groundbreaking work is a stimulating work for professionals and both graduate and undergraduate students.…

Minor shelfwear, slightest bit of rubbing at corners, interior clean and tight. Very nice copy. "If masterpieces of literature explore the substance and essence of humanity, philosophizing about literature can shed light on these questions. In particular, phenomenology is devoted to the study of human consciousness and experience. Chen here devlops another version of phenomenology of humanity -- human nature, human dispositions, human desires, and three core human existential interests -- by taking "A Dream of Red Mansions", the crown jewel of Chinese culture, as its main literary paradigm of illustration."; Asian Philosophy Literary Studies; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 287 pages.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book provides a comparative study, as well as an account of global history, of the philosophical discourse of mind, reason, and culture. It then enthrones the cosmopolitan doctrine of mind, reason, and culture. It provides an approach that supersedes both universalist approach and culturalist/multiculturalist approach and rehabilitates individual persons mind as the primary substances of the human mind and thus primary thinking entities. The book develops a new concept of the relationship between reason and culture as part of the relationship between a substance-attribute, subject-predicate relationship, and as part of the relationship between the human mind and culture, as well as part of the humanity-culture-nature triangle relationship. It provides an alternative view both to universalism and culturalism/multiculturalismthe two dominating isms in approaching human reason and culture hitherto in both Eastern and Western philosophy--and emphasizes reading original philosophical classics in both Western and Chinese philosophies. The book develops a new concept of the relationship between reason and culture as part of the relationship between a substance-attribute, subject-predicate relationship, and as part of the relationship between the human mind and culture, as well as part of the humanity-culture-nature triangle relationship.
