中国现实主义冒险：经典哲学在当代问题上的应用

现实主义，或称法家，曾对中国古典哲学产生重大影响，后来被儒家思想所取代。然而，它的理念仍然鲜活而强大。现实主义者建议使用现实世界的工具来处理现实世界的问题，比如激励、奖励、制度和惩罚。《中国现实主义历险记》更新了中国现实主义，以一种事实上发人深省的方式解释当代政治和哲学问题。这本书的投稿人展示了今天有多少法家创造力量、安全和秩序的方法可以被应用。在许多领域——国际关系、企业道德、公共部门的组织，以及官僚和政客所扮演的角色——现实主义提供了独特的方式，将这些固有的特殊行为与更广泛的共同利益联系起来。
Adventures in Chinese Realism: Classic Philosophy Applied to Contemporary Issues
Realism, or Legalism, was once a significant influence in classical Chinese philosophy, later eclipsed by Confucianism. Its ideas, however, remain alive and powerful. Realists propose dealing with real-world problems using real-world instruments, such as incentives, rewards, institutions, and punishments. Adventures in Chinese Realism updates Chinese Realism to explain contemporary political and philosophical issues in a matter-of-fact, thought-provoking way. Contributors to this volume demonstrate how many of the Legalist recipes for creating strength, security, and order can be applied today. In many areas–international relations, corporate ethics, the organization of the public sector, and the roles that bureaucrats and politicians play–Realism offers unique ways to align these inherently particularistic actions with the broader common good.
