This ground-breaking handbook provides multi-disciplinary insight
into Chinese morality, cognition and emotion by collecting in one
place a comprehensive collection of essays focused on Chinese
morality by world-leading experts from more than a dozen different
academic fields of study. Through fifteen substantive chapters,
readers are offered a holistic look into the ways morality could be
interpreted in China, and a broad range of theoretical
perspectives, including ecological, anthropological and cultural
neuroscience. Offering a syncretic, multi-disciplinary overview
that moves beyond the usual western-oriented perspective of China
as a monolithic culture, research questions addressed in this book
focus on morality as represented at the level of the individual,
rather than at the group or institutional levels. Research
questions explored herein include: What are the major contours of
distinctively Chinese morality? What was the role of the ancient
ecology, climate, and pathogen load in producing Chinese moral
attitudes and emotions? Are ingredients of the good life in China
different than ingredients of the good life elsewhere? How are
children in China morally educated? How do findings from cultural
neuroscience help us understand differences in the treatment of
family members, or the treatment of strangers, in China and
elsewhere? How do the protests in Hong Kong participate in, or
stand apart from, the ongoing ethics of protest in historical
China? The clear structure and accessible writing offer a rigorous
assessment of the ways in which morality can be interpreted,
shedding light on differences between China and Western cultures.
The book also provides a timely window into Chinese forms of
morality, and the pivotal role these play in social organization,
family relationships, systems of government, emotion and cognition.
Representing fields of study ranging from philosophy, linguistics,
archaeology, history, and religion, to social psychology,
neuroscience, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, and
behavioral ecology, this is an essential text for students,
academics, and others with wide interest in Chinese culture.
