Living Confucianisms boldly explores areas in which Confucian philosophy shines and looks forward. Roger Ames' reflections on Confucian Harmony as dynamic symbiosis in living zoetology (vs. static ontology) introduce a host of compelling chapters on Harmony in cosmology, ethics, politics, constitution, foreign affairs, etc. The age-old wisdom of this book ratifies the recent finding of neurology that every organism seeks equilibrium within and harmony without—in symbiotic ecological relationships.
