Virtue Ethics and Confucianism

This is a terrific book. An exemplary example of what Angle calls 'rooted global philosophy.' There are American authors and Chinese authors. Virtue theory is important. The book will be widely read by ethicists and comparative philosophers.

This volume's 20 essays aim to show readers that new forms of comparative philosophy are possible...[T]his volume not only makes claims for but also forthrightly demonstrates what Angle has called living philosophy ('still evolving' philosophy).

The volume marks a substantial contribution to the virtue theoretical approach to Confucianism; the range of topics is impressive, as are the range of thinkers discussed . . . . The volume should . . . be an important part of the conversation moving forward.

Virtue Ethics and Confucianism has no doubt made Confucian tradition accessible to contemporary Western readers and enriched the contemporary discussion of virtue ethics as well as that of Confucianism.
