| Summary: | "Environmental disasters, unequal distribution of resources, viral pandemics, and other types of trans-national disasters, are global crises that cannot be solved within the narrow framework of individual nation-states. They must be addressed through global cooperation and solidarity. Such strategies require intercultural dialog that goes beyond fashionable slogans and can lead to a truly equal exchange of knowledge and ideas. Towards this endeavour, this book by Jana S. Rošker focuses on the traditional Confucian ethic of relationism, which historically spread throughout many regions of East Asia. She examines the specific features of relational ethics and explores its possible contribution to the new global ethics"-- Prologue: The year of the Metal Rat, the curse of the Bat and the search for a new ethos -- Methodological introduction -- Freedom, responsibility and the relationship between the individual and society -- Confucian humanism and democracy -- Subjectivity, control, and digital technology -- Restructuring the axiology of global ethics: On a winding path from transcultural to global ethics -- Epilogue: The new politeia, the land of rusting arms, and the deliverance from dark times. |
