A Chinese Ethics for the New Century: The Ch'ien Mu Lectures in History and Culture, and Other Essays on Science and Confucian Ethics

A link running through many of the essays in this volume is between evolutionary biology and Chinese ethics. Since the 1960s and 1970s, within the fields of biology, psychology, and neurology are findings that advance our knowledge of how the mind functions, with special attention to social behavior. Donald Munro's focus is on what this development means, narrowly for the study of Confucian ethics, and broadly for Chinese contributions to any international discussion of moral topics.
