Book Description

Aristotle and Confucius are pivotal figures in world history; nevertheless, Weste and Easte cultures have in mode times largely abandoned the insights of these masters. Remastering Morals provides a book-length scholarly comparison of the ethics of Aristotle and Confucius. May Sim’s comparisons offer fresh interpretations of the central teachings of both men. More than a catalog of similarities and differences, her study brings two great traditions into dialog so that each is able to lea from the other. This is essential reading for anyone interested in virtue-oriented ethics.
