Justice and harmony have long been two of the world's most
treasured ideals, but much of modern moral and political philosophy
puts them on opposite sides of the divide between liberal theories
of the right and communitarian theories of the good. Joshua Mason
argues that the encounter with their Chinese counterparts, zhengyi
and hexie, can overcome this opposition, revealing a pattern of
interrelated concerns that reframes justice and harmony as mutually
interdependent concepts in a three-part framework of root harmony
(benhe), harmonic justice (heyi), and just harmony (zhenghe).
Broadly surveying the histories of western and Chinese moral and
political philosophies and taking on the insights of philosophical
hermeneutics, Justice and Harmony: Cross-Cultural Ideals in
Conflict and Cooperation explores our cross-cultural conceptual
inventories and develops a comparative framework that can overcome
entrenched binary oppositions and reconcile these grand global
values.
