Chinese and Greek ethics remain influential in modern philosophy,
yet it is unclear how they can be compared to one another. This
volume, following its predecssor 'How should one live?' (DeGruyter
2011), is a contribution to comparative ethics, loosely centered on
the concepts of life and the good life. Methods of comparing ethics
are treated in three introductory chapters (R.A.H.King, Ralph
Weber, G.E.R. Lloyd), followed by chapters on core issues in each
of the traditions: human nature (David Wong, Guo Yi), ghosts (Paul
Goldin), happiness (Christoph Harbsmeier), pleasure (Michael
Nylan), qi (Elisabeth Hsu & Zhang Ruqing), cosmic life and
individual life (Dennis Schilling), the concept of mind (William
Charlton), knowledge and happiness (Joerg Hardy), filial piety
(Richard Stalley), the soul (Hua-kuei Ho), and deliberation (Thomas
Buchheim). The volume closes with three essays in comparison -
Mencius and the Stoics (R.A.H. King), equanimity (Lee Yearley),
autonomy and the good life (Lisa Raphals). An index locorum each
for Chinese and Greco-Roman authors, and a general index complete
the volume.
