Abstract:
Due to the growing impact of China on world affairs how Chinese history has affected its current development in the field of human rights and law is generating great interest in the Western world. The result of a decade-long study of rights thinking in both China and the Western world, this book offers a comprehensive examination of the theories and practice of rights in the context of Chinese culture and social development. From the perspective of civil philosophy, the author discusses the problems of culture, morality, society and politics in modern China. The book also provides a unique contribution to an assessment of the impact of Western philosophical thought on contemporary Chinese rights and political thinking. This unique volume deals with both history and today, China and the West, in the field of rights thinking and practice.
