As Littlejohn argues in his contribution, in going “beyond comparison” our exemplars are not excluded from making comparisons. Indeed, much of their work rests exactly on nuanced negotiations of concepts and understandings embedded in distinct traditions. In his contribution, Andrew Lambert explores Li Zehou’s argument for prioritizing harmony over justice. The justice Li deals with is a liberal one, and Lambert sketches how it is founded upon abstract conceptions of reason and individuality. Li appreciates the function of this type of justice, but argues that harmony, which at its core encapsulates emotional and aesthetic aspects of the human experience, should constitute a higher ideal. We need justice as fairness, impartiality, and to recognize the role of reason, but these should not come at the expensive of concrete considerations. Introducing harmony, and the associated claim that reason needs to be integrated with emotion, is how we better adapt our otherwise abstract principles to actual circumstances. The overall goal, Lambert notes, is not “to overturn liberal individualism, but rather to make room for the good life as conceived in traditional Confucian thought.” In this way Li’s work “suggests a fertile ground” for future projects beyond comparisons.
