An electronic edition of Robert Elliott Allinson’s book, Space, Time and the Ethical Foundations has been published with Routledge Revivals; this book was originally published in 2002. 

An excerpt from the late Professor Anthony C. Yu’s review: “Robert Allinson’s book represents tremendous thoughtfulness, originality, and erudition. Its wide-ranging and lucid discussions cover a huge terrain, from ancient metaphysics to quantum mechanics. The enlistment of certain classical Confucian concepts and themes at critical junctures to advance the book’s argument also provides luminous comparison. His interpretation of the Confucian emphasis on life as social and self-preservation is both humane and interesting, much as his analysis of the Mencian notion of compassion deserves our attention.”
