Bøger af Joshua Mason

In the six months following my grandmother's death... I found myself writing.These are those poems.Unedited, unfiltered emotional processing, bound together in a single collection. This book was unplanned. It is a gift that was birthed through pain. But then again, the best things often are. This is one man's journey through grief, or at least the beginning of that journey. And I hope that my sharing it will speak to you. That's what she would have wanted.From the practical issues of sorting through her house, to the eternal pangs of missing her, these poems speak to the universal experience of losing someone dearly beloved.

Justice and harmony have long been two of the world's most treasured ideals, but much of modern moral and political philosophy puts them on opposite sides of the divide between liberal theories of the right and communitarian theories of the good. Joshua Mason argues that the encounter with their Chinese counterparts, zhengyi and hexie, can overcome this opposition, revealing a pattern that reframes justice and harmony as mutually interdependent concepts in a three-part framework of root harmony (benhe), harmonic justice (heyi), and just harmony (zhenghe). Broadly surveying the histories of western and Chinese moral and political philosophies, Justice and Harmony: Cross-Cultural Ideals in Conflict and Cooperation explores our cross-cultural conceptual inventories and develops a comparative framework that can overcome entrenched binary oppositions and reconcile these grand global values.
