In order to illustrate the ethical healing in Confucian culture, this article reinterprets research findings of the articles presented in this special issue from the framework the Confucian Culture-Inclusive Theories proposed by the author. The analysis of this article shows that the Confucian Culture-Inclusive theories may reveal the core values of Confucian culture and the theories can be examined through both quantita¬tive empirical research as well as qualitative event analysis. While Western theories may also be applied to explain Chinese social actions at a certain level of analysis, their utility is limited to instrumental ra¬tionality or purposes only. An appropriate and balanced application of both Confucian Culture-Inclusive theories and Western theories may lead to the consequence of "Chinese learning as substantive rational¬ity and Western learning as instrumental rationality"; however, the one-sided application of Western theories may lead to culturally insensitivity or even cultural blindness. |
