Using both Confucian texts and the work of American pragmatist John
Dewey, this book offers a distinctly Confucian model of democracy.
Through a detailed study of relevant concepts and theories in
Confucianism and John Dewey's pragmatist philosophy, this book
illustrates the possibility of Confucian democracy and offers an
alternative to Western liberal models. Sor-hoon Tan synthesizes the
two philosophies through a comparative examination of individuals
and community, democratic ideals of equality and freedom, and the
nature of ethical and political order. By constructing a model of
Confucian democracy that combines the strengths of both
Confucianism and Deweyan pragmatism, this book explores how a
premodern tradition could be put in dialogue with contemporary
political and philosophical theories.
