In a time marked by profound polarisation, this volume draws our attention to a virtue that is of key importance in many non-Western cultures but is largely neglected in modern Western thought: the virtue of harmony. The book comprises 13 chapters that examine harmony from a particular cultural or disciplinary perspective. A broad variety of cultural traditions are represented, including the Confucian, Daoist, Buddhist, Judaist, Greek, Christian, Islamic, African, and Native American traditions, as well as different disciplinary approaches, such as philosophy, religious studies, linguistics, psychology, and political theory. This book is suitable for general readers, students, as well as researchers interested in this flourishing topic of research.
