In this landmark work, noted comparative philosopher Roger T. Ames
interprets how the classics of the Confucian canon portray the
authentic, ethical human being. He argues that many distinguished
commentators on Confucian ethics have explained the fundamental
ideas and terms of this distinctively Chinese philosophy by
superimposing Western concepts and categories, effectively
collapsing this rich tradition into a subcategory of "virtue
ethics." Beginning by addressing the problem of responsible
cultural comparisons, Ames then formulates the interpretive context
necessary to locate the texts within their own cultural ambiance.
Exploring the relational notion of "person" that grounds Confucian
philosophy, he pursues a nuanced understanding of the cluster of
terms through which Confucian role ethics is expressed. Drawing on
Western and Chinese sources, Ames provides a convincing argument
that the only way to understand the Confucian vision of the
consummate life is to take the tradition on its own terms.
