AB "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"-- OP 180 CN JF1525.E8 SN 978-90-04-54626-4 K1 COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020 : Influence K1 Globalization : Moral and ethical aspects K1 Relationism : East Asia K1 Confucian Ethics : East Asia K1 Philosophy, Confucian : East Asia K1 Individualism : Moral and ethical aspects K1 COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-2023 : Influence
