Reviews

Joel Kupperman is rightly celebrated for his success at drawing on Eastern traditions to enlarge our (Western) understanding of key issues in philosophy. The impressive essays in this volume extend Kupperman's approach with stimulating reflections on character, emotions, and well-being. - Stephen C. Angle, author of Contemporary Confucian Political Philosophy Each essay by a major figure in comparative philosophy is a masterful engagement with the Confucian tradition that reveals its resources for us today. Scholars and students of both Chinese philosophy and comparative philosophy will want to read this impressive volume. - Owen Flanagan, author of The Bodhisattva's Brain: Buddhism Naturalized
