More about the book
Focusing on the virtue ethics of Aristotle and Confucius, this comparative study examines how each philosopher's cultural background and conceptual framework shape their views on human good and virtue. By treating their philosophies as reflective mirrors, the book aims to generate fresh interpretations and insights into both ethical systems, revealing connections and contrasts that would remain hidden in isolated analyses. This approach enriches the understanding of virtue ethics through a cross-cultural lens.
