- Synopsis
- Furthermore, this work focuses on singling out the most significant issues which not only are commonly exploited in these two ethics, but are also of great interest in contemporary virtue ethics. I first became interested in this subject in 1996 when Nicholas Bunnin invited me to speak at a conference on Chinese philosophy that he organized at Oxford University. By that time, Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics had been intensively studied as the most important model of virtue ethics for decades. As a student of Aristotle, when I turned my eyes to Chinese philosophy, the first thing I noticed is how similar the Confucian approach to ethics is to Aristotle’s in many aspects. Hence I chose to present a paper dealing with how Aristotle and Confucius conceive the conception of virtue. The paper was later published in the Philosophy East and West 48 (1998), with the title of ‘‘Virtue: Aristotle and Confucius.’’ It became the seed of this book.
