Description
Summary:LI Chenyang's The Confucian Philosophy of Harmony is a major contribution to the topic. It makes the vast Chinese literature and rich ideas on the topic available to the English-speaking world. It has a comprehensive scope and very rich content. In this commentary I will consider a few controversial issues that are related to the philosophical understanding of the concept of harmony as well as the practical implications of such a philosophy. Such questions seem to deserve further investigation and discussion.
