This book explores a mode of democracy that is culturally relevant
and socially practicable in the contemporary pluralistic context of
historically Confucian East Asian societies, by critically engaging
with the two most dominant theories of Confucian democracy -
Confucian communitarianism and meritocratic elitism. The book
constructs a mode of public reason (and reasoning) that is morally
palatable to East Asians who are still saturated in Confucian
customs by reappropriating Confucian familialism and using this
perspective to theorize on Confucian democratic welfarism and
political meritocracy. It then applies the theory of Confucian
democracy to South Korea, arguably the most Confucianized society
in East Asia, and examines the theory's practicality in Korea's
increasingly individualized, pluralized, and multicultural society
by looking at cases of freedom of expression, freedom of
association, insult law, and immigration policy.
