Confucius, Rawls, and the Sense of Justice, Hardcover by Cline, Erin M., ISBN 082324508X, ISBN-13 9780823245086, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Cline (theology, Georgetown U.) argues that despite their different emphases, modern liberal philosopher John Rawls and the Confucian Analects intersect in their emphasis on the importance of developing a sense of justice and that in this intersection is a source of significant philosophical agreement. In addition to comparing and contrasting the Rawlsian and Confucian conceptualizations of justice, she presents an argument that the comparative study of the two philosophies opens up new ways to understand their insights and apply them in the contemporary world, including the importance of moral psychology in Rawls's theory of justice, the neglected understanding of social justice in the Analects, and use of Confucian views as a resource for developing Rawls's account in order to address concerns of communitarian and feminist critics (such as the claim the Rawls neglected key areas such as the family).
