This book engages in cross-tradition scholarship, investigating the
processes associated with cultivating or nurturing the self in
order to live good lives. Both Ancient Chinese and Greek
philosophers provide accounts of the life lived well: a Confucian
junzi, a Daoist sage and a Greek phronimos. By focusing on the
processes rather than the aims of cultivating a good life, an
international team of scholars investigate how a person develops
and practices a way of life especially in these two traditions.
They look at what is involved in developing practical wisdom,
exercising reason, cultivating equanimity and fostering
reliability. Drawing on the insights of thinkers including Plato,
Confucius, Han Fei and Marcus Aurelius, they examine themes of
harmony, balance and beauty, highlight the different concerns of
scepticism across both traditions, and discuss action as an
indispensable method of learning and, indeed, as constitutive of
self. The result is a valuable collection opening up new lines of
inquiry in ethics, demonstrating the importance of philosophical
ideas from across cultural traditions.
