Eric Voegelin's opinions on Asia's primary political and intellectual traditions are

summarized in Lee Trepanier's book. Voegelin thought that Confucianism, Taoism, and

other traditions shaped modern politics. Trepanier's book covers Voegelin's Asian

political thinking, including his views on political order, religion in politics, and the state-

individual connection. He believes Voegelin's insights on these issues are pertinent to

modern political dialogue. Voegelin believed Confucianism promoted education, self-

cultivation, and morality to build a happy community. He believed Taoism stressed

balance and harmony in one's interaction with the world. Trepanier's work emphasizes

Voegelin's contributions to comparative political philosophy and his Asian political

thinking. The book is useful for understanding Voegelin's perspectives and how Asian

political and philosophical traditions have shaped contemporary politics.

Li examines China's domestic and diplomatic politics, economic, military, and technical

capacities to comprehend its ascent and its influence on the global order. China's

connections with the US, Europe, and regional and international organizations are also

examined in the book. The author claims that China's global governance and multipolar

world order promotion are motivated by its national interests and desire to safeguard its

sovereignty. He contends that this move toward a multipolar world order is producing

new problems and possibilities for the international community and that the global

community must comprehend and react to these changes. "China's New World Order"

concludes with a thorough look at China's ascent and its influence on global politics and

economics. It illuminates China's goals, plans, and capabilities and the international

order's difficulties and prospects.

id=Sf9kpJ72hJMC

Confucian Political Ethics by Philip J. Ivanhoe examines the political philosophy and

ethical theory of the Confucian tradition. He emphasizes fundamental notions such ren

(benevolence), li (ritual propriety), xiao (filial piety), and zhong (loyalty) that underlie

Confucian perspectives on government and the roles of the ruler and the ruled. Ivanhoe

contends that Confucianism places a premium on moral leadership, and that the

development of virtue and character is essential for preserving a fair and peaceful society.

Moreover, he investigates the relationship between Confucianism and democratic norms

and principles. Ivanhoe's work illuminates the political implications of Confucianism and

its relevance to modern political dialogue.

The book "Thinking Through Confucius" by David L. Hall and Roger T. Ames provides

a philosophical analysis of Confucianism, one of the most influential intellectual and

cultural traditions of East Asia. The writers examine several Confucian concepts,

including the nature of ethical and political interactions, the concept of human

flourishing, and the significance of self-cultivation. They perceive Confucianism as a

tradition that remains relevant in the modern day due to its vitality and creativity. The

book intends to appeal to a wide audience, including both professionals and casual

readers interested in understanding Confucianism and its influence on the cultural and

political landscape of East Asia.

Beyond Liberal Democracy. (2009). Daniel Bell. https://books.google.com.ph/books?

id=eowWZSvloqcC

Daniel Bell examines the limits of liberal democracy and advocates "communitarian

liberalism" as an alternative political philosophy in "Beyond Liberal Democracy." Bell

contends that liberal democracy's individualistic and procedural orientation to political

life has prevented it from addressing many of the social and economic issues confronting

modern nations. He advocates a communitarian approach that prioritizes community and

civic virtue and strives to strike a balance between individual liberty and common needs.

The book makes significant contributions to the disciplines of political philosophy and

democratic theory and offers a useful framework for comprehending the issues liberal

democracy faces in the twenty-first century.
