Title: Jesse Ciccotti
Mengzi and Civil Society
In this talk I will explore the idea of civil society from a Ruist
(Confucian) perspective. More specifically, I want to explore one text, the
Mengzi, for particular insights that might help open a way for the
discussion of civil society to make advances in political contexts that
lack democratic institutions. I am not the first person to look at the
possible convergence of civil society and Ruist traditions from a broad
angle, but until now scholars seem to conclude that there is little ground
to be gained by doing so. Nevertheless, I think a closer look at specific
texts rather than generalized positions based on proof-texts drawn from
across a diversified tradition can provide a more sound foundation from
which to begin discussing civil society in what might be considered
unlikely places.
