In China, political philosophy is still a comparatively new
academic discipline. While there is no such phrase as "political
philosophy" in ancient Chinese texts, there are elements within
them that could be considered part of that field. Central questions
of Chinese ancient political philosophy include the legitimacy of
the source of political power, the foundation of moral rationality
for the use of political power, and the purpose of political
activities. This book explores the ideas of rights, the foundations
of law, transference of power, democracy and other topics as
debated in ancient times. Focusing on important political thinkers
in Chinese history, such as Kongzi, Laozi, Xu Fuguan, Liang Qichao,
and Li Dazhao, the book explains characteristics that are
particular to China, such as the system of abdication, the general
will of the people, and the society of Great Harmony. While making
comparisons between Chinese and Western political philosophy, the
book also discusses how to establish a Chinese modern state and how
to promote Chinese culture today so that it can influence more and
more people around the world. The book will be a valuable reference
for scholars of Chinese philosophy, political philosophy, and
Chinese culture.
