Abstract

In comparing the political philosophies of the East and West, it is clear that Western scholars have traditionally fixated on the structure of the state, known as polity, while Chinese intellectuals have delved into the concept of Dao, which pertains to the right path or principle of governance. The concept of polity only permeated Chinese discourse in modern times. This lecture carefully traces the lineage and evolution of polity and Dao thought, offering a nuanced analysis of their parallels and divergences, as well as assessing their respective merits and limitations. The essence is that through the lens of Dao, as opposed to the Western lens of polity, one arrives at fundamentally different interpretations when considering the political history, current governance, and potential future of China.
