2023 Dao Annual Best Essay Award
2023 Dao Annual Best Essay Award
Thorian R. Harris, “Moral Perfection as the Counterfeit of Virtue,” Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy 22 (2023): 43-61 (Free Access to the Paper)
In this historically situated, textually grounded, and philosophically nuanced paper, Thorian
R. Harris challenges the widely held assumption that Confucian sages are free of all moral imperfections. In Harris’s view, early Confucians held, rightly, that sages were not morally perfect, it is impossible to be morally perfect, and moral perfection, which is merely the counterfeit of virtue, is not something desirable. Instead of moral perfection, the highest ideal that Confucian sages truly embody and Confucians clearly embrace is the love of learning to be human. Skillfully travelling between the Chinese and Western sources and ancient and contemporary perspectives, the paper exemplifies the type of scholarship this journal aims to promote.
