About the Book

For over two thousand years, Confucianism has built up sophisticated approaches exploring social, political, and environmental harmony. As a valuable cultural resource and one of the main drivers of societal norms across much of East Asia, Confucian philosophy has been going through a global academic revival over the last three decades. It has insights that can help us reflect on the root causes of, and remedies for, disorder in the 21st century, and can build bridges of dialogue across alternative philosophical, political, diplomatic, educational, and religious systems. This volume presents diverse ‘Confucianisms’ as hybrid, evolving traditions that have been indigenized and creatively interpreted to support human fulfilment, using the vast cultural resources of the past to meet the needs of the present and the future.Living Confucianisms: Strategies for Optimizing Harmony explores contemporary harmony from a wide range of perspectives across philosophy, religion, politics, linguistics, diplomacy, international relations and education, with writers from numerous cultural and national backgrounds.

Review :
Living Confucianisms boldly explores areas in which Confucian philosophy shines and looks forward. Roger Ames' reflections on Confucian Harmony as dynamic symbiosis in living zoetology (vs. static ontology) introduce a host of compelling chapters on Harmony in cosmology, ethics, politics, constitution, foreign affairs, etc. The age-old wisdom of this book ratifies the recent finding of neurology that every organism seeks equilibrium within and harmony without—in symbiotic ecological relationships.
