Breaking out of the dominance of AngloAmerican scholarship, this volume centralises East Asian philosophical traditions to explore crosscultural perspectives in the field of global justice studies. By bringing together diverse traditions of thinking about justice that contrasts East Asian and Western thinkers' traditions, it avoids the shortcomings of narrow and onesided conceptualisations of global justice.A range of contributors from East Asia, Europe, and the US who are conversant with both Western and East Asian philosophical traditions provide a rich engagement with contemporary issues relating to global justice. The book opens with a section devoted to the methodological challenges specific to crosscultural approaches to justice, including the universalism/particularism debate and the conditions of the possibility of crosscultural comparisons. Part II explores how major East Asian philosophical traditionsincluding Confucianism, Legalism, Daoism and Buddhismconsider issues related to global justice. The essays in Part III adopt a crosscultural and/or comparative perspective on justice, enabling the readers to appreciate similarities and differences between the East Asian and Western perspectives on justice, and to appreciate cultural variation. Key applied issues in global justice, such as epistemic injustice, human rights, women's rights, nationalism, religious pluralism, coercion, corruption and postcolonial justice, receive full consideration in the final section of this indispensable reference work for understandings of global justice in East Asia specifically and crossculturally.
