Abstract

V tem članku odgovarjam na kritične pripombe k svoji knjigi Reshaping Confucianism: A Progressive Inquiry (Preoblikovanje konfucijanstva: progresivna analiza), ki so jih podali Ruiping Fan, Ranjoo Herr in Ahyoung Lee v zvezi z mojo rekonstrukcijo konfuci­janskih pojmov harmonije, enakosti družbenih spolov in politične enakosti.

• Keywords: harmonija, enakost med družbenimi spoli, politična enakost, progresivno konfucijanstvo
