Beskrivning

Eric Voegelin on China and Universal Humanity: A Study of Voegelin’s Hermeneutic Empirical Paradigm aims to speak to comparative political theorists, philosophers, historians, sinologists, and anyone interested in understanding our current disorders and exploring a culturally non-specific paradigm for understanding equivalent practices and patterns in the global age, especially China and the West. Specifically, this book looks at Eric Voegelin’s (1901–1985) Theory of Order. It focuses on Voegelin’s interpretation of order/disorder, his penetration of the Tianxia (the Chinese Ecumene), and his comparison of two representative heterogenous Ecumenes in the ancient West and East. In doing so, the book explores the issue of universal humankind and the nature of order-searching.

Recensioner i media

“In providing the first book-length study in English of Eric Voegelin’s account of the Chinese ecumene, Muen Liu has succeeded in demonstrating the validity of Voegelin’s ‘hermeneutic empirical paradigm’ for understanding the plurality of civilizations that avoids the extremes of either Eurocentrism or cultural relativism. His study comes at a crucial time when intercultural understanding between China and the West is most needed.”
