| Rule of Law in the Heaven-Earth-Human Dynamic Whole |
By Sherwin Lu 2008-6-23
THE issue of the rule of law vs. the rule of virtue has been haunting the Chinese mind for thousands of years and is again becoming a focus of attention in the politics of China today. It also has topical significance to the present-day world with different cultures encountering each other at close quarters on a global scale and in historically unprecedented intensity....the relation between the Tao, Law, and Virtue can be understood correctly only when they are viewed as corresponding to the three primary levels of existence in the human eye, or “Three Cai” (三才： 天、地、人) in traditional Chinese terms. |
