Editorial Reviews
Henry Rosemont, George B. and Willma Reeves Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts, St. Mary's College of Maryland
A welcome addition to the growing corpus of collaborative efforts of David Hall and Roger Ames. In this volume, their concerns center on getting beyond the liberal Western tradition, both for understanding the prospects for political change in China, and to make a signal contribution to the ongoing debate on neo-pragmatism-focusing on John Dewey-in the U.S. This book is an excellent addition to the literature in both areas, and more generally to the exciting development of comparative philosophy.
Book Description
Must China be transformed into a liberal democracy, complete with free enterprise capitalism, in order to successfully enter the larger world marketplace? David Hall and Roger Ames explore whether any type of democracy will figure prominently in China's future. The authors believe it is a mistake to equate modernity with westernization and rugged individualism. Hall and Ames argue that as a modern China embraces its larger role in the global marketplace, a new type of democracy will emerge-a blend of traditional Western democracy and the Eastern emphasis on community-which closely resembles John Dewey's "communitarian democracy."
