Liberal Toleration, Confucian Societies, and Global Justice
摘要
This chapter reframes Rawls’s Law of Peoples through a spectrum of nonliberal societies from decent hierarchical peoples to benevolent absolutisms by using the proviso to assess Confucian states’ global reasonability based on participatory consultation and human rights adherence. It argues for toleration via non-interference if societies endorse international principles reciprocally. Extending the book’s thesis globally, it shows the proviso’s justificatory structure as universal for evaluating Confucian absolutism’s legitimacy in a pluralistic world order.
