Can a Confucian ideal of reciprocity help women realize their equality? What is the hope for Chinese women seeking a social ideal of equality given the growing gender gap in the current economic development of China? Yuan argues Confucianism cannot help unless it is integrated with feminism. In this book, Yuan explores why gendered stratifications perpetuated so deeply in today's China through the influences of Confucian cultural tradition, but reading early Confucian texts as a cosmological vision of Ren with Dao and ontological oneness as a whole that is the unity of heaven, earth, and humanism, we might reclaim Confucian egalitarian aspects to develop its openness for gender equity with integration of feminist critical care ethics. Throughout the book, Yuan provides multiple perspectives of comparison: relational self vs. power differentials, gender roles differences vs. political demand for equality, and individual reciprocity vs. connection based reciprocity, etc. to embrace inclusive methodology and caring democracy. We see a great hope to break through stereotypes of binary thinking of Minben (people oriented) and Minzhu (autonomous democracy), gender division of labor, reason and emotion, etc. Yuan argues we should integrate feminist critical thoughts of global justice/care with early Confucianism, since both traditions emphasize caring relationships in humanity and interdependency between social individuals within and beyond their communities in a global scale. Importantly, the integration enlarges our philosophical visions of how cultural traditions can be undeniable sources for strengthening contemporary social ideas of humanity, democracy, equality, and freedom for all. 650 0 $a Confucianism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85031069 650 0 $a Feminist ethics. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh92005802 650 0 $a Caring. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85020325 650 7 $a Caring. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00847566 650 7 $a Confucianism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875056 650 7 $a Feminist ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922765 776 08 $i Online version: $a Yuan, Lijun, 1951- author. $t Confucian ren and feminist ethics of care $d Lanham : Lexington Books, [2019] $z 9781498558198 $w (DLC) 2019006219 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217022247.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3945C8D80CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
