Synopsis
The prospect of rapid economic growth and increased prosperity in China has not only led to a heigthened awareness of the distinctive nature of China's cultural heritage, but also to new ethical challenges similar to those faced in the West. Hong Kong as a city at the cross-roads of Eastern and Western value systems offers the fascinating backdrop for the interdisciplinary investigations in this volume. The ethical issues addressed range from problems in business and public administration to health care and human rights. While sensitive to the cultural particularities of China and the challenge her ethical traditions pose to the West, the essays provide thoughtful analyses of intricate moral scenarios as they explore the bounds of ethical principles and the feasibility of a truly global ethics.
