53Confucian philosophy: innovations and transformations (edited book)Wiley. 2012.In Chinese tradition Confucianism has been always both a philosophy of moral self-cultivation for the human individual and an ideological guide for political institutional policy and governmental action.

44Joy as a Moral Motive: A Response to Yong Huang's Why Be Moral?Philosophy East and West 69 (1): 280-287. 2019.This essay is a response to Yong Huang's Why Be Moral?

22Confucian Constitutionalism without RemediesPhilosophy East and West 72 (2): 506-517. 2022.Is there evidence of constitutionalism in classical Confucian political thought? In Sungmoon Kim's book on Confucian virtue politics, he argues that that Mencius (Mengzi, fourth century BCE) and Xunzi (third century BCE) are constitutionalists in the following sense: they expressed a commitment to creating durable institutions, one of whose primary aims is to constrain the exercise of legitimate political authority and facilitate good and proper uses of political authority. But for many politica…Read more
