May Sim is associate professor of philosophy at College of the Holy Cross. She has contributed to International Philosophical Quarterly, Journal of Chinese Philosophy, History of Philosophy Quarterly, and Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy.
Aristotle and Confucius are pivotal figures in world history; nevertheless, Western and Eastern cultures have in modern times largely abandoned the insights of these masters. Remastering Morals is the first book-length scholarly comparison of the ethics of Aristotle and Confucius. May Sim's comparisons offer fresh interpretations of the central teachings of both men. More than a catalog of similarities and differences, her study brings two great traditions into dialog so that each is able to learn from the other. This is essential reading for anyone interested in virtue-oriented ethics.
