The rehabilitation of Confucian tradition raised new challenges to
Chinese feminist thinkers. Can a Confucian ideal of reciprocity
help women realize their equality? What is the hope for Chinese
women seeking a social ideal of equality given the growing gender
gap in the current economic development of China? Yuan argues
Confucianism cannot help unless it is integrated with feminism. In
this book, Yuan explores why gendered stratifications perpetuated
so deeply in today's China through the influences of Confucian
cultural tradition, but reading early Confucian texts as a
cosmological vision of Ren with Dao and ontological oneness as a
whole that is the unity of heaven, earth, and humanism, we might
reclaim Confucian egalitarian aspects to develop its openness for
gender equity with integration of feminist critical care ethics.
Throughout the book, Yuan provides multiple perspectives of
comparison: relational self vs. power differentials, gender roles
differences vs. political demand for equality, and individual
reciprocity vs. connection based reciprocity, etc. to embrace
inclusive methodology and caring democracy. We see a great hope to
break through stereotypes of binary thinking of Minben (people
oriented) and Minzhu (autonomous democracy), gender division of
labor, reason and emotion, etc. Yuan argues we should integrate
feminist critical thoughts of global justice/care with early
Confucianism, since both traditions emphasize caring relationships
in humanity and interdependency between social individuals within
and beyond their communities in a global scale. Importantly, the
integration enlarges our philosophical visions of how cultural
traditions can be undeniable sources for strengthening contemporary
social ideas of humanity, democracy, equality, and freedom for all.
