Yong Huang presents a new way of doing comparative philosophy as he demonstrates the resources for contemporary ethics offered by the Cheng brothers, Cheng Hao (1032–1085) and Cheng Yi (1033–1107), canonical neo-Confucian philosophers. Huang departs from the standard method of Chinese/Western comparison, which tends to interest those already interested in Chinese philosophy. While Western-oriented scholars may be excited to learn about Chinese philosophers who have said things similar to what they or their favored philosophers have to say, they hardly find anything philosophically new from such comparative work. Instead of comparing and contrasting philosophers, each chapter of this book discusses a significant topic in Western moral philosophy, examines the representative views on this topic in the Western tradition, identifies their respective difficulties, and discusses how the Cheng brothers have better things to say on the subject. Topics discussed include why one should be moral, how weakness of will is not possible, whether virtue ethics is self-centered, in what sense the political is also personal, how a moral theory can be of an antitheoretical nature, and whether moral metaphysics is still possible in this postmodern and postmetaphysical age.

The Horizon of Modernity provides an extensive account of New Confucian philosophy that cuts through the boundaries between history and thought. This study explores Mou Zongsan's and Tang Junyi's critical confrontation with Marxism and Communism in relation to their engagement with Western thinkers such as Kant and Hegel. The author analyzes central conceptual aporias in the works of Mou, Tang, as well as Xiong Shili in the context of the revival of Confucianism in contemporary China and the emergence of the discipline of philosophy in twentieth-century Chinese intellectual history. This book casts new light on the nexus between the categories of subjectivity and social structure and the relation between philosophy, modern temporality, and the structural conditions of the modern world.

Der Neo-Konfuzianismus bildet mit seinen verschiedenen Strömungen die wichtigste Geistesschule des imperialen China seit der Song-Zeit (960-1279). Er entstand als Reaktion auf die das chinesische Denken in den Jahrhunderten vorher stark beeinflussenden Schulen des Buddhismus und des Neo-Daoismus und versteht sich selbst als eine Rückkehr zu der Essenz der ursprünglichen konfuzianischen Lehre vor der Han-Zeit (206 v.u.Z.-221 n.u.Z.). Wesentliche Elemente in den Theorien der beiden gegnerischen Schulen wurden aber vom Neo-Konfuzianismus absorbiert und haben ihn ohne Zweifel bereichert und neue E
