Angle -- Why does Confucianism prefer compassion to empathy? / Sin Yee Chan -- The quest for uncertainty : ethics and autotelic action in the Zhuangzi / Robert Eno -- ethical naturalism : three lessons from Donald Munro / Chad Hansen -- The goodness in human nature : new perspectives on Mencian theory / Xiaogan Liu -- It's a jungle out there : Zhuangzi and the rhetoric of political persuasion / Yuet Keung Lo -- Left and right, east and west : are "conservative" and "liberal" universal human categories? / David Moser -- What does a Chinese master know? toward a gongfu epistemology -- Peimin Ni -- Image, clustering, and interality : probing alternative ways of understanding Chinese philosophy / Geling Shang -- Zhu Xi on the consciousness and unconsciousness of the mind of heaven and earth : cross-cultural considerations of ontological theism and atheism in honor of the work of Donald Munro / Brook Ziporyn -- Family love and its extension : a comparative evaluation / Yanming An.

Subject: Over five decades, Donald J. Munro has been one of the most important voices in sinological philosophy. Among other accomplishments, his seminal book The Concept of Man in Early China influenced a generation of scholars. His rapprochement with contemporary cognitive and evolutionary science helped bolster the insights of Chinese philosophers, and set the standard for similar explorations today. In this festschrift volume, students of Munro and scholars influenced by him celebrate Munro's body of work in essays that extend his legacy, exploring their topics as varied as the ethics of Zhuangzi's autotelicity, the teleology of nature in Zhu Xi, and family love in Confucianism and Christianity. Essays also reflect on Munro's mentorship and his direct intellectual influence. Through their breadth, analytical excellence, and philosophical insight, the essays in this volume exemplify the spirit of intellectual inquiry that marked Donald Munro's career as scholar and teacher.
