Summary "With a particular focus on Chinese thought, this volume explores how, and under what conditions, so-called 'non-Western' traditions of thought can structure generally applicable social and political theory. Reversing the usual comparison between 'local' Chinese application and 'universal' theory, the work demonstrates how Chinese experiences and ideas offer systematic insight into shared social and political dilemmas."-- Provied by publisher
