Huang Yushun 黄玉顺 is one of the most prolific and creative Confucian thinkers in China today, and one of his books has been published in English translation: Voice From the East: The Chinese Theory of Justice (Paths International, 2016). More details are here.
If anybody is interested in doing a review of this book and publishing it in Journal of Chinese Humanities, please contact me!
Is the subtitle intended to imply that there is one and only one Chinese theory of justice?
The subtitle is a direct translation of the original Chinese title 中国正义论. When he says “Chinese” theory of justice, he means the Confucian theory of justice only. He divides it between Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi.
It would be interesting to investigate whether the basic tenets of Confucianism can stand in the face of developments in evolutionary psychology, phenomenology, contractarianism or metaethics.
