The order of the world in house and state

Meer over het boek

Exploring the evolution of home and state as fundamental institutions, this comparative study delves into their roles in social control and order creation. It contrasts European-Occidental and East Asian frameworks, referencing ancient Greek concepts of oikos, polis, and cosmos alongside Chinese categories of jia, guo, and tianxia. The discussion encompasses ethical, political, and economic dimensions, examining both traditional and modern implications for ecological sustainability. The work aims to foster a deeper understanding of sustainable living in response to global challenges.
