Features: This book is one of the doctoral series published by the Anhui Normal University Press (Volume ). In response to the rise of virtue ethics in Western ethics, the book focuses on the ethical thought of Mencius, delving into its core ideas and exploring the intellectual resources of Mencian virtue ethics. By contrasting normative ethics with virtue ethics, it highlights the theoretical essence of virtue ethics, preliminarily outlines the framework of Mencian virtue ethics, and discusses the theoretical elements that can be transformed and integrated into modern society. Combining classic theoretical interpretation with philosophical reflection, the book provides an in-depth analysis and dialectical examination of the Mencius text. It integrates history and theory, history and thought, and textual research with philosophical reasoning. This book can serve as a reference for philosophy teachers and researchers in universities and research institutions, as well as a textbook for undergraduate elective courses and a reference for graduate students in philosophy programs.
