Feminist Encounters with Confucius: Modern Chinese Philosophy, cartea 12

Editat de Mathew Foust, Sor-Hoon Tan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 oct 2016
This work builds on earlier works, which defend Confucianism against charges of sexism and present interpretations of Confucianism compatible with Feminism, but contributors go beyond the much discussed care ethics, and common arguments of how ren (humaneness) can ground an egalitarian humanism that include gender equality. Besides ethics and political philosophy topics, this volume includes discussions in other philosophical areas such as epistemology, metaphysics, and applied philosophy. Through the encounter of Feminism and Confucius’s perspectives, each contributor generates novel answers to the questions addressed. In some cases, authors raise new questions about the chosen topic, inadequacies in how it has been addressed in previous Confucian or Feminist discourse, and/or challenges for either or both Confucianism and Feminism.

Recenzii

"All essays are well-argued contributions to a debate that reaches far beyond the academic realms of comparative philosophy." - Barbara Hendrischke, University of Sydney, in: Religious Studies Review, 43.4 (2017)
"Foust and Tan's Feminist Encounters with Confucius provides an entry point for meaningful encounters between the feminist community writ large and Confucianism, an intellectual tradition that has touched countless lives in Asia throughout the ages, yet still remains at the margins of the Western intellectual world. [...] each chapter goes beyond a simple repudiation of the Confucian sexist past, teasing out, both theoretically and practically, novel possibilities in various Confucian concepts in response to feminist issues. These new possibilities then in turn enrich both feminism and Confucianism as each ingredient is enhanced and its efficacy actualized in a harmonious culinary creation." - Li-Hsiang Lisa Rosenlee, in: Hypatia Reviews Online

Feminist Encounters with Confucius is the witness to and the cumulation of recent scholarly engagement between feminism and Confucianism. [...] By engaging with key issues in feminist philosophy such as standpoint theory and theories of relationality, and by pressing contemporary subjects such as bioethics, domestic violence, and ecological crisis, the authors of the volume have opened up a new discursive space for dialogue and productive research. [...] The significance of this brilliant volume lies not only in the seriousness and depth of its contributions, but also in the diversity of the authors' approaches. This volume is exemplary, and one hopes for similar endeavors in the future."
-Anna Sun, Duke University, in Reading Religion: A Publication of the American Academy of Religion

"To sum up, this long-awaited volume has provided new materials, perspectives, and methods in discussing the relations between Confucianism and feminism. It avoids the illusion that Confucianism is one thing. As a groundbreaking work, it deserves to be read by anyone interested in Confucian ethics, feminist epistemology, Confucian elite women, and tiger mothering." -Zhang Lili, in Frontiers of Philosophy in China
