Produktbeschreibung

In the modern world, technology plays a crucial role in our daily lives. From smartphones to social media, we have become more connected than ever before. However, with the rapid advancements in technology, it's important to consider the impact it has on our values, beliefs and moral character. Philosopher Mencius, also known as Mengzi, lived in ancient China but his views on the relationship between technology and virtue are still highly relevant today. In "Empowering Virtue: Harnessing Technology in the Mengzi Tradition," we delve into Mencius's perspective on how technology can be used to empower and cultivate virtue in our lives.

Mengzi was a prominent Confucian philosopher who believed that virtue was at the core of human development. He identified four key virtues - compassion, fairness, shame, and humility - and believed that these virtues should be the foundation of all human interactions. In this book, we will explore Mengzi's views on technology and its role in fostering these virtues. From online communities to online resources, we will examine how technology can be used to enhance human life and promote moral growth.

This book will also address the potential negative impacts of technology on our moral character and how we can balance the use of technology to ensure that it does not compromise our values and beliefs. By embracing the Mengzi tradition, we can harness the power of technology for good and make the world a better place for future generations. Whether you're a student of philosophy or simply someone interested in technology and its impact on our lives, "Empowering Virtue: Harnessing Technology in the Mengzi Tradition" is a thought-provoking and insightful read.
