Excerpt from Spiritual, Ethical and Historical Discourses, Delivered Under Inspiration WE have read this morning the Chapter from which the above words are taken, deeming it peculiarly applicable and appropriate to the line of thought which we desire to set in motion at the outset Of our present season's work in this city and this hall. We are living in most peculiarly excited and exciting times and in the midst of turmoil and perplexity. On every hand a new light is breaking, surely even though Slowly, upon all sorts and conditions of persons and institutions. This is emphatically an age of trying and testing. Every one demands a test of some kind to prove his neighbor's trustworthiness. Mere assertion will not any longer suffice to satisfy inquirers they must have proof, evidence, demonstration.

Confucian Ethics in Western Discourse brings Chinese philosophers into dialogue with contemporary moral philosophers, identifying how ancient Chinese philosophy can contribute to Western discussions of moral philosophy. Covering the characteristics and significance of the Confucian ethical tradition, this study introduces the main concepts, discusses differing perspectives of moral dilemmas and closely examines whether Confucian ethics should be considered as virtue ethics in the Western tradition. Through analysis of the meaning of virtues in Confucian ethics it draws comparison with virtues in Aristotlelian moral philosophy, and offers an in-depth review of the thought of Cheng Brothers in the Song Dynasty, shedding light on current ethical issues. With careful textual studies and philosophical perceptiveness, Confucian Ethics in Western Discourse connects ancient Chinese thought and contemporary problems in Western philosophy.Röpke's moral standards were not entirely a coherent admixture of Christian precepts, Kantian deontology, liberal ideals and civic republican virtues. His strong commitment to the dignity of the human person is unmistakable; ...

Providing an account of the development of economic thought, this book explores the extent to which economic ideas are rooted in moral values. Adopting an approach rooted in ‘pragmatism’, the work explores key questions which have been considered by economists since the classical political economists. These include: what degree of priority ought to be granted to property rights among all individual liberties; whether uncertainties in economic life justify investing political authorities with the power to stabilize business cycles; whether it is better to trust entrepreneurial initiatives to resolve societal dilemmas or to centralize policy-making in the hands of a benevolent government. The chapters argue that economic thought has evolved from an emphasis on "sympathy" (as defined by Adam Smith) and that there has more recently been a rediscovery of the significance of sympathy reinvented as "fair reciprocity" in the wake of the emergence of behavioural economics and its connection to evolutionary psychology. This key book is of great interest to readers in the history of ideas, political and moral philosophy, and political economy.The first traces the history of Christianity as a spiritual force, the second, the history of Christianity as a social development, and the third, Christianity as it has evolved into a new ethical system.54 When the three books are set ...

This collection of articles discusses the basic epistemological issues facing the global theoretical humanities in terms of cross-cultural points of view. The topics discussed especially concern theoretical semiotics, institutional restrictions of current humanities scholarship, and comparative historical semiotics, as well as the more applicable and empirical-rational-directed humanist ethics. The text is characterized by its hermeneutic dialogue between contemporary western theories and traditional Chinese intellectual history, that will be instructive and informative for scholars and theoretical readers of all branches in both the western and non-western humanities. It emphasizes the great significance of the theoretical humanities in our times and their urgent task should lie in collectively reconstructing a more rationalized humanist-scientific foundation for a new type of human sciences through critically reorganizing all intellectual sources of mankind.
