Through extensive textual evidence, it illustrates that classical Confucianism, Mohism and Daoism contained rich notions of dignity, which laid the foundation for human rights and political liberty in China, even though, historically, liberal democracy failed to grow out of the authoritarian soil in China.

While the Confucian notions of humanity (Ren), righteousness (Yi), and gentleman (Junzi) bear most directly on the conception of dignity, Mohism and Daoism provide salutary corrections to the ossification of the orthodox Confucian practice (Li).. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Human Dignity; Confucian Ren; Rule of Virtue; Universal Love; Primitive Freedom; Daoism; Classical Chinese | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-349-70920-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-70920-5 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
