Analyse historique du concept de performance en Chine. Un regard occidental
2015
A historical analysis of the concept of Performance in China. A Western lectureWe base our work on an historical study of the concept of performance in China. We postulate from a literature review that organizations and their managers are strongly influenced by cultural and institutional determinants. As a result, we present these determinants that enable us to justify several hypotheses about Chinese managers’ behaviors. In this article, we show the disappearance of Confucian values behind a combination of pragmatism, interpersonal relations and influence networks.

A special issue, “Remembering the Past and the Future - Korean Culture in a Changing World,” is devoted to understanding Korean culture. Regardless of the bulk of comprehensive information available today, accurate knowledge of the Asian culture in Europe or the European culture in Asia has not become considerably deeper. Sometimes even to the contrary – the old stereotypes continue to exist as part of the packaging for pseudo information adjusted to the short-term goals of the contemporary globalised society, supplemented by travel guides and announcements tailored to the needs of immediate politically economic conjuncture. And yet, this is only the top of the intercultural communication i…
Early Confucian Legal Thought: A Theory of Natural Law?
2015
Confucianism has often been compared to natural law, mainly to its non-volunta- ristic currents. However, the possibility to include Confucianism in the group of natural law theories is problematic. Recently, a few scholars, and notably Peerenboom, have challenged the widely shared thesis that Confucius and early Confucian thinkers should be mentioned in the ranks of natural law philosophers. He contends that early Confucian jurisprudence is more profitably compared to Dworkin’s coherence theory of law than to natural law. The present article discusses three core points: the laws of nature and natural law, the connection between law and morality, and the basic epistemological assumptions pr…
Looking for the "Vulnerable Subject": The Mencian Account of the Person
2019
The idea of the legal subject as an autonomous agent, with the capacity to choose and freely determine herself without external constraints or interference, complete in herself and independent, has had remarkable normative implications in structuring contemporary legal systems. The philosopher Martha Fineman recently argued against this notion, proposing the alternative one of “vulnerable subject.” This paper suggests that the notion of the person elaborated by the classical Confucian thinkers encompasses the “vulnerable subject.” The Confucian theorizations resonate with the ethic of care; however, their moral and normative relevance carries the potential for a broader scope of application…

L’actualité de la compréhension interculturelle. Le confucianisme de Boston
2016
National audience; The aim of this paper is to present the so-called Boston Confucianism as a precious contribution to respond to the challenge of our century, because the task of hermeneutics has nowadays to become intercultural. If we assume that the ecological problems represent the new challenge of our time, problems that cannot be solved only by new technics, and that these problems are not only local but global, our age of globalization implies for each culture to understand the worldviews of other cultures because each of them means also a different way of life, i.e. they contribute to determine the kind of relation we have toward nature. The attempt to understand the Confucian world…

Entre Confucianismo y Derechos Humanos: Individuo y Rey
2011
RESUMEN En este artículo se aborda la cuestión de China y los derechos humanos desde la perspectiva que, según opinión común, constituye la base de esa cultura: el confucianismo. Una perspectiva que es analizada tanto desde su marco contextual como en sí misma, cotejándola con el concepto de derechos humanos. El resultado de todo ello lleva a la conclusión de que los derechos humanos son ajenos al confucianismo y por ello a la cultura china. Sin embargo, no son necesariamente incompatibles con tal perspectiva hasta el punto de que cabria imaginar una síntesis basada en lo que aquí se llamará: el individuo y rey. ABSTRACT In this article we focus on the question of China and human rights fr…
Confucian Bioethics: Informed Consent in the Context of the Traditional Chinese Worldview
2017
The text refers to bioethics in China, in particular Confucian bioethics, and shows the medicine and bioethical issues in a broader cultural context. Traditional Chinese beliefs and customs affect the conceptualization and implementation of the various bioethical problems. The aim of the article is to analyse the problem of informed consent and cultural differences in its understanding and enforcement. Due to the very difterent perception of the relationship between the individual and the group in China, compared with individualistic cultures (Western Europę, North America, Australia) Chinese bioethicists revaluated the concept of informed consent by introducing a competitive concept of com…
