This book reconstructs the Confucian account of power in terms of responsibility from historical and normative perspectives. It pays special attention to the liability and active dimensions of Confucian power as responsibility, which undergirds “responsibility meritocracy” and “Confucian active citizenship,” respectively. -- .

In the book''s lead essay, Sungmoon Kim offers a comprehensive analysis of Confucian power. Through a blend of philosophical, political, and historical analysis, Kim challenges the dominant idea that Confucianism is primarily centred on virtue ethics. Instead, he argues that Confucianism perceives power through the prism of responsibility. Kim not only traces this perspective throughout history but also demonstrates its relevance to contemporary society. He contrasts this Confucian perspective with Western political theory''s view of power as control.
Political theorists and philosophers will offer essay responses to Sungmoon Kim''s provocation, offering a dialogue approach to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Confucian conception of power.
